Calculation of electrospray profile in multi-electrode system for plasma treatment

Pollution of water from chemical substances is globally on going. For the limitation of further expansion of the aquatic contaminations, the development of a new pollution prevention technique is expected. Discharge plasma is one of the ways to break down harmful organic compounds. We have proposed the use of electrospray for a discharge plasma treatment to gain the surface area of water. To determine the optimal configuration, we have developed an electrospray simulation using the finite element method. The characteristics of the electrospray in one- or two-electrode systems are discussed.
