Abstract :
Plasma technologies are considered today by many experts as a new field for new discoveries, with many practical applications in the most various domains of the human activities: chemistry, medicine, industry (food, textiles, steel), etc. The evaluation of all physical and chemical parameters of the plasma leads to a better understanding of the processes that occur during the interaction with various organic or inorganic compounds. The goal of this paper is to study the effect of non-thermal plasma treatment on water and organic solute (soluble dyes) and it aims to examine the intervention of the electrical discharge generated by different types and power inputs of electrochemical reactors, i.e. cold plasma, on pH sensitive substances. This can lead to properties changes of samples and also can be dangerous for the humans.
