WebJun 28, 2000 · The flowing afterglow of a microwave discharge can be used to efficiently inactivate bacterial spores. We have conducted a parametric study of the operating conditions of such a system, which shows that the species participating in the killing of spores are oxygen atoms and ultraviolet (UV) photons. The oxygen atoms and the … WebMay 4, 2006 · We present the optimization of a sterilization process with a N 2 flowing afterglow post-discharge. First we study the inactivation of bacteria (E. coli) submitted to the post-discharge, and discuss the mechanisms of bacteria inactivation. Then we evaluate the volume repartition of the active species (N atoms produced by plasma discharge) in ... notgrass homeschool

Tandem flowing afterglow-SIFT-Drift: developments and …

WebThis thesis describes the detailed design of the Tandem Flowing Afterglow-SIFT-Drift and applications of this technique and other flow tube techniques to gas phase ion chemistry. The versatile ion source and high sensitivity and resolution of the instrument allows generation and study of a variety of ions including highly reactive ions (CH/sub ... WebA flowing afterglow system has been used to measure the gas-phase, thermal-energy rate constants for reactions between a variety of ions and water-vapour molecules at 300K. A method of measuring water-vapour flow-rates has been developed which may be readily extended to other vapours. Rate constants, together with Flowing-afterglow mass spectrometry (FA-MS), is an analytical chemistry technique for the sensitive detection of trace gases. Trace gas molecules are ionized by the production and flow of thermalized hydrated hydronium cluster ions in a plasma afterglow of helium or argon carrier gas along a flow tube … See more Over the years many variations of the instrument have been made. In the beginning during the 1960s there was the study of flowing afterglow plasma. This study was done by Eldon Ferguson, Art Schmeltekopf and … See more Trace gas analysis One of the first papers reporting the use of the flowing afterglow studied ion-molecule reactions pertinent to the Martian atmosphere. This flowing afterglow technique replaced the then standard stationary afterglow … See more • Charles H. DePuy (chemist) • Robert R. Squires See more how to set up a wifi extender with xfinity
