Abstract :
Plasma treatment of methylene blue solution has been performed in Ar/Air gas-mixture atmospheric pressure plasma by using a specially designed “mangrove-type” electrode. In addition to the measurements of transmittance of the solution before and after the plasma treatment, FTIR investigation of the products after the treatment has been performed for understanding chemical effects of the treatment on the methylene blue molecular structure.
