Plasma was generated in a quartz tube with the ambient air used as a feed gas for the reactor.  The performance of the reactor was evaluated according to the ozone amt. produced both in the gas and liq. phase, as well as the overall decompn. efficiency of 2-naphthol.  The decompn. kinetics, as well as the intermediary reactive products of 2-naphthol decompn. were detd. using the combination of high performance liq. chromatog. with UV detection (HPLC/UV), Fourier transform IR spectroscopy (FTIR), and gas chromatog./mass spectroscopy (GC/MS) analyses.  The overall effectiveness of the process was established according to the degree of total org. carbon (TOC) mineralization, while toxicity tests were performed using Daphnia magna.  Ozone prodn. (i.e., its concn. in the gas phase), ranged between 0.39 and 1.52 mg L-1 when varying the discharge power between 5-33 W.  The decompn. efficiency of 2-naphthol reached 98.6% in 6 min at 33 W based on HPLC measurements.  FTIR and GC/MS analyses revealed that degrdn. intermediates consisted mostly of oxygen functional group contg. compds., such as carboxylic acids.  Based on the data reported here, we propose a novel dual stage org. wastewater decompn. reactor utilizing excess renewable electricity.

The exptl. design model of each PA nanofibers contained the following variables: polymer concn., ratio of solvents, nanofiber media collection time, tip-to-collector distance, and the deposition voltage.  The av. diam. of the fibers, their morphol., basis wt., thickness, and resulting media solidity were investigated.  Effects of each variable on the essential characteristics of PA 6/6 and PA 6 nanofiber media were studied.  The comparative anal. of the obtained PA 6/6 and PA 6 nanofiber characteristics revealed that PA 6/6 had higher potential to be used in filtration applications.  Based on the exptl. results, the graphical representation-response surfaces-for obtaining nanofiber media with the desirable fiber diam. and basis wt. characteristics were derived.  Based on the modeling results the nanofiber filter media (mats) were fabricated.  Filtration results revealed that nanofiber filter media electrospun from PA6/6 8% (w/vol) solns. with the smallest fiber diams. (62-66 nm) had the highest filtration efficiency (PA6/6_30 = 84.9-90.9%) and the highest quality factor (PA6/6_10 = 0.0486-0.0749 Pa-1).
