The Role of Acidification for Antimicrobial Activity of Atmospheric Pressure Plasma in Liquids

Oehmigen, K., Hähnel, M., Brandenburg, R., Wilke, Ch., Weltmann, K.‐D., von Woedtke, Th.·2010·Plasma Processes and Polymers

Abstract

Water disinfection by indirect plasma treatment was investigated using a surface dielectric barrier discharge (DBD). Liquid was neither part of the discharge electrode configuration nor stirred during plasma treatment. High concentrations (10 6–10 8 cfu·mL−1) of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus have been completely inactivated within 5–15 min, depending on liquid sample volume. Inactivation occurred in non‐buffered liquids, only, where pH decrease was found. Measurements of pH, nitrate, and nitrite concentrations after DBD plasma or NO gas treatment lead to the conclusion that nitric acid formation from plasma‐generated reactive nitrogen species are the main source of liquid acidification. Incubation of bacteria in nitric acid alone did not result in comparable inactivation effects. Increase of H 2 O 2 concentration was found as a result of plasma treatment of liquids but not after treatment by NO gas. Therefore, synergistic action of both reactive oxygen and nitrogen species are discussed to be responsible for antimicrobial plasma effects. magnified image

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
