Aqueous solutions treated by cold atmospheric pressure plasma jets contain high amounts of reactive species. It has already been shown that atomic oxygen produced by a cold atmospheric pressure plasma jet effectively reacts with organic molecules like phenol dissolved in water without any intermediate reaction steps [1]. However, it is unknown whether the reactions with atomic oxygen are liquid-surface or liquid-volume dominated.
To investigate the loss processes of atomic oxygen in liquid solutions, experimental results are combined with simulations of the reaction kinetics [2]. Phenol solutions were treated with the effluent of a He/O2-plasma ignited in the COST-Jet which provides well-known densities of reactive oxygen species [3]. Variation of the phenol concentration allows an insight into the competing O-loss reactions in gas phase, liquid phase or at the liquid surface. The comparison to simulations of the reaction kinetics and transport from gas into liquid phase reveal the predominance of reactions of atomic oxygen at the liquid surface.
