摘要

The accumulation of nitrification products, specifically nitric acid (HNO3) and nitrous acid (HNO2), along with reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as H2O2, was investigated following cold atmospheric-pressure dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma treatment of various liquid phases. Plasma generated by a planar DBD with a mesh electrode positioned above deionized water produced nitrification products without detectable accumulation of H2O2. In contrast, methanol and ethanol promoted H2O2 accumulation. Other organic solvents, including ethyl acetate, t-butanol, hexane, acetonitrile, dichloromethane and acetone, also yielded nitrification products, with most solvents exhibiting concurrent H2O2 formation, except acetonitrile. To further elucidate the role of liquid-phase composition, selected additives, including ROS quenchers, were introduced into aqueous systems to probe specific reaction pathways, and their effects on pH, oxidation–reduction potential, and nitrification were examined. Notably, hydroxyl radical scavengers showed negligible effects on nitrification in deionized water. In acidic aqueous solutions, L-glutathione (GSH) underwent S-nitrosylation to form GS-NO, whereas in 10% methanol-water mixtures, GSH was additionally converted into oxidized products, including GS-CH2OH, GSO3H, and GSSG. Phenol in deionized water was primarily converted into 4-nitrosophenol, 2-nitrophenol, and 4-nitrophenol, without detectable oxygenated products. Overall, these results indicate that liquid-phase composition modifies plasma–liquid chemistry and stable product distributions.
