Spectroscopic analysis of plasma modified polymer surfaces Universiteit Gent
The surface properties of polymers are essential for various industrial applications. Spectroscopy techniques like Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), secondary mass spectrometry (SIMS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) are the most prominent for plasma modified polyolefin surface analysis. This book chapter provides a brief introduction to the principles of these spectroscopy ...

Effect of non-thermal plasma in the activation and regeneration of 13X zeolite for enhanced VOC elimination by cycled storage and discharge process Universiteit Gent
A non-thermal plasma (NTP) discharge is used in this study for the activation and regeneration of MS-13X pellets packed in a MS-13X & glass beads packed bed dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor. NTP activation (in-situ) of MS-13X efficiently removes the adsorbed carbonaceous compounds and moisture resulting in an improved VOC adsorption. In addition, NTP exposure is used for the regeneration of the used MS-13X for cycled storage and ...
A poly-diagnostic study of the shield gas-assisted atmospheric pressure plasma jet propagation upon a dielectric surface Universiteit Gent
The significance of shield gases on atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) propagation over a horizontal dielectric surface using various diagnostic methods has been investigated. The obtained results imply that adding nitrogen as a shield gas only has an impact on the N-2 reactive species generation, mainly close to the plasma effluent while argon shield gas can boost the optical emission intensity of all excited species, especially at ...
Acid treated Ce modified birnessite-type MnO2 for ozone decomposition at low temperature : effect of nitrogen containing co-pollutants and water Universiteit Gent
In this study, HNO3 treated Ce modified birnessite-type MnO2 (CexMn-AT; x = 0.01,0.1,0.2,0.5) have been designed for decomposition of ozone at low temperature (20-40 degrees C) in the absence or presence of nitrogen containing co-pollutants and water. The best catalyst Ce0.01Mn-AT exhibits stable ozone conversion of 94 % in nearly dry air (300 ppm of ozone, RH = 0.7 %, GHSV = 1200 L/(g.h), 20 degrees C) in the presence of N2O5/HNO3 pollutants. ...
