<jats:p>This study investigated the stress and strain behavior caused in the forming process via simulation analysis using the finite element method, for suppressing punch shoulder and head plate thickness reduction die shoulder stress concentration by controlling the friction conditions. The following findings were obtained: The thickness of the blank head and punch shoulder decreased with the forming process. Due to the increase in the coefficient of friction with the punch side, the plate thickness reduction ratio decreases, and is the lowest when it is close to non-lubrication; Stress concentration occurs at the die shoulder with forming processing. With the increase in the friction coefficient value, forming limit parameter (FLP) increases slightly, but as it does not reach the limit value of 1, the forming process can be safely performed without mechanical damage; When the formability is comprehensively evaluated using the plate thickness reduction ratio and FLP, the friction coefficient <jats:italic>μ</jats:italic> = 0.4 to 0.5 is reasonable.</jats:p>

<jats:p>This study dealt with the rotary draw bending method most used for tube bending and investigates how applied bending such as normal bending, using mandrels or pressing with booster have an effect on machining accuracy, focusing on dimensional defects due to springback and flat deformation to the transverse plane. The study used particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms to investigate the optimal machining conditions for improving the accuracy of dimension and shape of a bent part. The following findings were obtained: The springback during applied machining using a mandrel, or using a mandrel and booster together, is almost the same as during normal processing; The flattening near the center of the bend in applied processing using a mandrel, or a mandrel and booster together, decreases more than with normal processing at mandrel protrusion <jats:italic>L</jats:italic> ≥ 4 mm, and the maximum can be suppressed to approximately 0.15%; When the sum of the springback and the flattening is taken as the objective function and the minimum value is obtained, the optimal solution is around <jats:italic>L</jats:italic> = 7 mm.</jats:p>

<p>液中プラズマを用いた水素製造法の最適条件及び最適方法を見出すために，これまでに報告された研究結果を比較検討した。 液中プラズマは液体中の気泡内に生成されるプラズマであるから，原料の蒸発エンタルピー（EE）が小さい方が有利である。また，標準生成エンタルピーから計算される熱力学的理想効率（IE）の高い原料を選択する必要がある。実際の水素製造効率（HPE）は，水（IE，0.28 Nm³-H₂/kWh；EE，44 kJ/mol），メタノール（IE，1.26 Nm³-H₂/kWh；EE，38 kJ/mol），<i>n</i>-ドデカン（IE，2.99 Nm³-H₂/kWh；EE，62 kJ/mol）の場合でそれぞれ0.02，0.28，0.13 Nm³-H₂/kWhである。最高HPEがメタノール分解によって得られたことは，原料のEEが低く，IEが高いことが高効率水素製造に有利であることを示す。HPEが低下する主な原因はプラズマのエネルギーが原料分解に使われず，周囲液体へ拡散してしまうことである。従って，効果的な熱回収法と断熱システムの開発が必須である。</p>

Abstract A method has been developed to improve the hydrogen production efficiency (HPE) by in-liquid plasma n-dodecane decomposition. A thin steam pipe is placed over the plasma electrode to recover the thermal energy emitted from the plasma to its surroundings. The steam generated by this energy is supplied to the vaporized n-dodecane around the edge of the plasma to cause a steam reforming reaction (SRR). Water pyrolysis is suppressed by not supplying the steam directly to the plasma. A large amount of CO and a small amount of CO2 were detected in the produced gas. This indicates that a strong SRR has occurred. The HPE obtained by this method is 0.28 Nm3/kWh, which is two times greater than those obtained by previous methods, and similar to or greater than the yield of water electrolysis. This result is a major advance in the field of plasma heavy hydrocarbon decomposition aimed at hydrogen production. HPE is expected to be further improved by simply increasing the input power, due to synergy between the heat recovery effect of the steam pipe and the bubble stabilization effect. This indicates that this method has a high potential.

<jats:p>A relationship between diamond synthesis and hydrogen production in in-liquid plasma method have been investigated. Approximately 60 % energy can be recovered by collecting hydrogen gas made by ingredient solution decomposition. The relationship is trade-off. When higher energy is used to maintain the substrate temperature, the hydrogen production rate gets faster, but the diamond synthesis rate gets slower. To increase diamond synthesis rate, a method should be established which maintains the substrate temperature by lower energy and generates less hydrogen gas.</jats:p>

<jats:p>This study was performed to improve the adhesiveness of a diamond-like carbon (DLC, a-C:H) layer film with an a-SiC interlayer. In previous studies, an a-SiC/DLC layer film was formed and changes in the DLC film structure and hardness caused by the thickness of the a-SiC layer were examined. After the a-SiC interlayer thickness increased and the G-peak position shifted to a lower frequency, the peak began shifting to higher frequencies. The G-peak position reached a minimum frequency at a film thickness of approximately 0.3 μm. In contrast, as the thickness of the a-SiC interlayer increased, the FWHM of the G-peak position increased almost monotonically and the number of sp<jats:sup>3</jats:sup> bonds also increased. As the interlayer thickness increased, the hydrogen content in the DLC film increased, and then began decreasing, with the interlayer film thickness exhibiting a local maximum at approximately 0.3 μm. As for the DLC film hardness, a correlation between the hydrogen content and half width of the G-peak position was observed. When the hydrogen content was ≤40 at%, a positive correlation with the FWHM (G) was observed, and when the hydrogen content was 40 at% or above, a negative correlation with FWHM (G) was found. The adhesiveness of the DLC film and substrate was improved by forming an a-SiC thin film as an interlayer. The effects of the a-SiC thin film on DLC film quality were determined.</jats:p>

<jats:p>Diamond crystals are successfully synthesized by irradiating DC arc plasma jet to the substrate set in a methanol solution. It is the important procedure to preheat the substrate by inert Ar plasma jet before introducing the methanol solution gas to the plasma jet gun. The effects of two experimental conditions, the incident power and the substrates, are investigated. In the case of the Si substrate, cubic crystalline diamond grains of same size are synthesized at the plasma power of 470W. High speed hetero epitaxy is expected by using this method. In the case of the tungsten carbide substrate, diamond crystals and carbon nanotubes are simultaneously synthesized at the plasma power of 260W. The catalytic effect of Co binder in the substrate may cause the chemical reaction of the nanotube synthesis.</jats:p>

High-voltage pulse discharges were generated between underwater two metallic Tin (Sn) wires in order to synthesize nanoparticles. Nanoparticles were synthesized in pure water or aqueous gelatin solution. In pure water, Sn and SnO2 particles of approximately 5 nm in diameter were synthesized. However, synthetic particles in pure water had a problem of aggregation. The influence of gelatin solution on the particle size and dispersibility of the synthetic particles was investigated. In 10 mg/L gelatin aqueous solution. metallic Sn particles of approximately 40 to 400 nm in diameter were synthesized and were dispersing separately. From the peak width of X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectrum, the particle size was estimated using the Schemer's equation. As a result. the minimum size was approximately 20 nm at 2 mg/L of aqueous gelatin solution.

A lignin solution in methanol was treated with in-liquid plasma at 27.12 MHz radio frequency to produce H-2 and aromatic monomers. Gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses were performed to characterize the produced gases and degradation products contained in the solution. GC analysis identified H-2, CO, CH4, C2H2, CO2, and C2H4 in the sample. GC-MS analysis identified several products, including benzene. toluene, and phenol The quantity of each of these products was determined. These results indicated that the bonds around the benzene ring were broken in the plasma and reacted with OH radicals and CH3 radicals from methanol.

Hydrogen shows great promise for being such a solution for providing sustainable energy while at the same time protecting the environment from greenhouse gases (GHGs). A 27.12 MHz RF plasma in liquid was used to decompose biomass-derived cellulose suspension for hydrogen production. At 1.0 M of sodium hydroxide, the result showed the highest hydrogen yield and the lowest greenhouse gases yield. An increase in molar concentration resulted in an increase of hydrogen production rate. On the other hand, it is noted that regardless of molar concentration, the hydrogen production rate significantly dropped with residence time.

There is an imperative need to explore new technologies for hydrogen energy production without sacrificing life and environment. A 27.12 MHz radio-frequency plasma in liquid was used to decompose cellulose suspension for hydrogen production. The experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of sodium hydroxide and ultrasonic irradiation pretreatment. Molar concentration of sodium hydroxide was varied to 0.001 M, 0.01 M and 0.1 M and ultrasonic irradiation time was varied between 15 and 60 minutes in order to observe the hydrogen production rate and hydrogen yield. Hydrogen production had no significant enhancement at lower than 0.01 M sodium hydroxide. On the other hand, the hydrogen production rate increased dramatically to 23.0 mu mol/s at 0.1 M. sodium hydroxide. Typical optical emission spectrum of 0.001 M sodium hydroxide solution showed that radical species including OH (281.1 nm), H-beta (486 nm), H-alpha (656.3 nm) and O (777 and 845 nm) were generated which are very beneficial in attacking and decomposing organic molecules for hydrogen production. The highest production rate was obtained at 30 minutes of pretreatment. A longer than 30 minutes pretreatment with ultrasonic irradiation reduced the hydrogen production rate. Thus, ultrasonic irradiation pretreatment between 15 and 30 minutes was the potential condition for hydrogen production without sacrificing greenhouse gases effect.

Abstract The purpose of this study is to synthesize diamond onto Si, Cu, and Fe (SUS632J2) substrates and to analyze the effect of carbon diffusion on their surfaces. Diamond was synthesized using the in-liquid microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (IL-MPCVD) as a novel method for synthesizing diamond on various base materials. The IL-MPCVD method is superior one due to its efficiency in terms of cost, space and speed as compared to a conventional gas phase microwave plasma CVD (MPCVD). Microwaves of 2.45 GHz generated plasma in a solution which was comprised of methanol: ethanol (M:E = 97:3). Evaluation of deposited diamond films was done by a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy. Results shows that the IL-MPCVD method can form diamond films on Cu, Si and Fe substrates. The minimum time of film formation of Cu, Si and Fe are 2.5, 3.5 and 5 min, respectively. The material that forms carbide layers such as Si is a better substrate to form diamond film by the IL-MPCVD than other metal substrates such as Cu and Fe. Synthesizing diamond directly on the Fe substrate results in poor quality layers. The effect of carbon diffusion influences diamond film nucleation and diamond growth. In order to alleviate the carbon diffusion and improve the quality of the diamond film on the Fe substrate, Si has been sputtered on the Fe substrate as an interlayer. It is found that the diamond film can be formed on a Fe substrate using a Si interlayer and that heat treatment and thickening the interlayer improve its quality.

The objectives of this research were to understand the process of converting toluene into phenol in a one-step process directly from a water–toluene mixture using the plasma in-liquid method. Experiments were conducted using 27.12 MHz radio frequency (RF) in-liquid plasma to decompose a solution of 30% toluene. Based on the experimental results as evaluated using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS), along with additional analysis by the Gaussian calculation, density functional theory (DFT) hybrid exchange–correlational functional (B3LYP) and 6-311G basis, the phenol generated from toluene was quantified including any by-products. In the experiment, it was found that OH radicals from water molecules produced using RF in-liquid plasma play a significant role in the chemical reaction with toluene. The experimental results suggest that phenol can be directly produced from a water–toluene mixture. The maximum phenol yields were 0.0013% and 0.0038% for irradiation times of 30 s and 60 s, respectively, at 120 W.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of gas flow rate on the gas production rate from n-dodecane using steam reforming in-liquid plasma. A steam reforming of n-dodecane was carried out within the reactor vessel which was connected to a waveguide. an aluminum rectangular tubes that guides the propagation of electromagnetic waves with minimum loss of energy. The liquid medium used for plasma generation was n-dodecane (commercial reagent). The tip of a single electrode was positioned in the bottom center of the reactor vessel for plasma formation. The produced gas flowed through an aspirator and was trapped and collected in a water filled container. The gas production rate was measured and its compositions were analyzed using a gas chromatograph. The gas production rate by plasma with steam feeding was 1.4 times greater than that by plasma without steam feeding. The hydrogen content of the gas produced ranged from 73% to 82%. The maximum energy efficiency. as indicated by the ratio of the enthalpy difference of the chemical reactions to the input energy. was approximately 12%. The maximum hydrogen generation efficiency obtained from experiments was up to 59% higher than the efficiency of hydrogen production from electrolysis of alkaline solutions as reported in literatures. The energy payback ratio of hydrogen (EPRH2)was also calculated in order to obtain the hydrogen production efficiency.

It has been studied and improved in addition expected as new method instead of conventional gas phase microwave plasma CVD (MPCVD). The purpose of this study is to synthesize single crystal diamond using IL-MPCVD in high speed deposition. The experimental conditions, methanol was poured in to the reactor. Each of diamond particles (100) and (111) was embedded on the stainless steel substrates (SUS632J2). It was mounted to the substrate holder of in-liquid plasma equipment and installed on the top cover. The distance between the tip of the electrode and the substrate was kept to 1.5mm. A microwave of 2.45GHz was irradiated into the quartz glass tube reactor from the rectangular cavity resonator with 4 mm diameter tungsten electrode and the plasma was generated at its tip. The microwave was adjusted in appropriate power to maintain a certain substrate temperature. Diamond films were evaluated by Raman spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Laser Microscope (LM). As a result, the best orientation for epitaxial growth was found to be (100) which have film growth gradually and smooth surface. Whereas (111) face has polycrystalline film with irregularity growth and rough surface. The remaining H and C after CO synthesis satisfying H/C>20 is necessary to synthesized diamond using IL-MPCVD. The deposition rate was about 32 μm/h when both single crystal and polycrystalline diamond film were synthesized.</jats:p>

In this study, decomposition of methane hydrate using argon plasma jet was investigated in the pressure range of 0.1MPa to 2.0MPa. The plasma was successfully generated under high-pressure condition, which is difficult to achieve when using radio frequency (RF) plasma in liquid method. Using emission spectrometer analysis, the excitation temperature is found to increase as the gas pressure increases, whereas, it decreases as the argon flow rate increases. During the process of plasma irradiation, the required basic reactions for methane hydrate decomposition i.e. methane hydrate dissociation (MHD), steam methane reforming (SMR), and methane cracking reaction (MCR) were not completely satisfied due to an insignificant amount of methane. The gas chromatograph analysis confirmed that the methane cracking reaction (MCR) was only occurred to generate hydrogen and the C (s) , due to the absence of C 2 H 2 and C 2 H 4 as the byproducts. In comparison with the other basic reactions of methane hydrate decomposition, steam methane reforming reaction became dominant in converting methane into hydrogen. Although the hydrogen production efficiency is less than that of radio frequency plasma in liquid, the reduction of CO 2 by the thermal decomposition of Teflon from CO making it possible to be considered as an advanced promising technique in the future .

<jats:p>High-speed synthesis of the carbon nanotubes in liquid is introduced. The conventional method for synthesizing carbon nanotubes is generally known as gas-phase chemical-vapor deposition (CVD). With that method, carbon nanotubes of high purity can be synthesized, but the synthesis rate is low. Even though the synthesized carbon nanotubes are excellent materials, they cannot be used in large quantities. Accordingly, in this study, single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are synthesized by “in-liquid” CVD. Since the molecular density of a liquid is much higher than that of a gas and the liquid has a cooling effect, performing CVD in a liquid can provide a high-speed growth rate of CNTs on substrate materials. A silicon substrate on which cobalt micro particles are deposited as the catalyst was used. Electrical-resistance heating was used for growing carbon nanotubes in pure ethanol. The synthesized nanotubes were analyzed by scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, and Raman spectroscopy. The results of these analyses indicate that SWCNTs were successfully synthesized over a wide area of the substrate surface. By investigating the synthesized carbon nanotubes under varied experimental conditions (such as pressure and substrate surface roughness), it is shown that surface roughness of the substrate and the bubble behavior are related to the synthesis mechanism of the CNTs.</jats:p>

Metal air battery attracts attention as an automobile battery, because of its high energy density. In order to reuse the battery, it is necessary to undertake reduction of metal oxide which is generated at the cathode without large environment load. We conducted the reduction of ZnO powder by radio-frequency dielectric heating. The ZnO powder and a reducing agent of organic liquid is put into a reaction vessel, and the tip of the electrode inserted from the top of the vessel is in contact with the surface of the powder. By measuring the spectrum of the blackbody radiation, the temperature was found to be approximately 2000 K. The reduction amount of ZnO increased remarkably when 0.7 to 1.4 mL of methanol was added as a reduction agent to 2.0 g ZnO powder, with a maximum of 27.6 mg at 1.1 mL reached. The reduction amount was smaller when ethanol, acetone, furfural, cyclohexane or dodecane were added as a reduction agent. The maximum energy efficiency is 3.3% without taking the reaction energy of the reduction agent into consideration, whereas it becomes 1.0% when taking it into consideration.

Abstract Hydrogen is a very attractive source of highly efficient and environmentally friendly energy. Investigation into hydrogen production from glucose decomposition by 27.12 MHz radio-frequency in-liquid plasma with and without ultrasonic vibrations was carried out utilizing 29 kHz and 1.6 MHz ultrasonic transducers to determine the effects of agitation and acoustic streaming. In-liquid plasma is generated inside a bubble, resulting in a high temperature chemical reaction field within the liquid which is then irradiated by ultrasonic vibration. The dependence of hydrogen production rate, hydrogen yield, hydrogen purity and hydrogen production efficiency on the types of ultrasonic vibration applied was investigated. Higher intensities of active C atoms species were observed in the emission spectrum of RF in-liquid plasma when irradiated with ultrasonic vibration and it is believed that these species function as precursors or intermediaries for other components in the gas product. Hydrogen production rate was enhanced by 30% when RF in-liquid plasma was irradiated by the 1.6 MHz piezoelectric transducer. The highest hydrogen yield was 72% for RF in-liquid plasma with the 29 kHz ultrasonic transducer at an initial concentration 1.0%. The hydrogen purity was enhanced by 5% for the highest initial concentration when applying the 29 kHz ultrasonic transducer to the RF in-liquid plasma. Thus the acoustic streaming effect by 1.6 MHz piezoelectric vibration enhanced the hydrogen production rate, while on the other hand, the agitation effect by 29 kHz ultrasonic vibration enhanced hydrogen yield and hydrogen purity. Though the hydrogen production efficiency of RF in-liquid plasma with ultrasonic vibration applied was lower overall when compared to that without ultrasonic vibration except for decomposition of glucose 20 wt% by RF in-liquid plasma with 1.6 MHz ultrasonic transducer which was 7% higher than that without ultrasonic vibrations, this remains a process that could be considered as a promising future technique for hydrogen production.

This research involves two in-liquid plasma methods of methane hydrate decomposition, one using radio frequency wave (RF) irradiation and the other microwave radiation (MW). The ultimate goal of this research is to develop a practical process for decomposition of methane hydrate directly at the subsea site for fuel gas production. The mechanism for methane hydrate decomposition begins with the dissociation process of methane hydrate formed by CH4 and water. The process continues with the simultaneously occurring steam methane reforming process and methane cracking reaction, during which the methane hydrate is decomposed releasing CH4 into H2, CO and other by-products. It was found that methane hydrate can be decomposed with a faster rate of CH4 release using microwave irradiation over that using radio frequency irradiation. However, the radio frequency plasma method produces hydrogen with a purity of 63.1% and a CH conversion ratio of 99.1%, which is higher than using microwave plasma method which produces hydrogen with a purity of 42.1% and CH4 conversion ratio of 85.5%.

Metal air-batteries with high-energy density are expected to be increasingly applied in electric vehicles. This will require a method of recycling air batteries, and reduction of metal oxide by generating plasma in liquid has been proposed as a possible method. Microwave-induced plasma is generated in ethanol as a reducing agent in which zinc oxide is dispersed. Analysis by energy-dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDS) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) reveals the reduction of zinc oxide. According to images by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), cubic and hexagonal metallic zinc particles are formed in sizes of 30 to 200 nm. Additionally, spherical fiber flocculates approximately 180 nm in diameter are present.

Strong emission in liquid is observed by radio frequency irradiation using a submerged electrode. Plasma is generated in liquid, and because the liquid around the plasma is evaporated instantly, the plasma seems as if to be generated in a bubble. We measured the spectrum of the plasma emission, analyzed the produced gas by plasma in water and also measured the production rate of hydrogen gas. The mole ratio of hydrogen to the produced gas is 90 to 99% and the rate of hydrogen gas is 1.2 to 2.3 larnol/s at 150 W. The rate of the hydrogen gas decreases with increase of the pressure from 60 to 100 kPa. To clarify the gas production mechanism, we carried out numerical simulations of the chemical reactions inside and outside the bubble. As a result, the mole ratio of the produced gas is .approximately agreeable to the experimental result.

We generated radio frequency (RF) plasma in water at atmospheric pressure by applying RF power of 13.56 MHz from an electrode. Emission lines from the plasma suggest that OH radicals, hydrogen, and oxygen were generated. On comparing the experimental and calculated spectral lines of the OH radical (A-X), we observed that the temperature of the radical is around 3,600 K. From the Stark broadening of the Ho line, we evaluated the electron density of the plasma; it was about 3 X 10(20) m(-3). Methylene blue solution was exposed to the plasma, and it underwent degradation. Oxidation by the OH radical may have caused this degradation. Hydrogen peroxide was also produced during the process of generation of plasma in water.

Diamond was synthesized using the in-liquid microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (IL-MPCVD) as a novel method for synthesizing diamond on various base materials. Microwaves of 2.45 GHz generated plasma in a solution which was comprised of methanol: ethanol (M:E = 97:3). Evaluation of deposited diamond films was done by a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy. Results shows that the IL-MPCVD method can form diamond films on Cu, Si and Fe substrates. The minimum time of film formation of Cu, Si and Fe are 2.5, 3.5 and 5 minutes, respectively. The material that forms carbide layers such as Si is a better substrate to form diamond film by the IL-MPCVD than other metal substrates such as Cu and Fe. The effect of carbon diffusion influences diamond film nucleation and diamond growth. In order to alleviate the carbon diffusion and improve the quality of the diamond film on the Fe substrate, Si has been sputtered on the Fe substrate as an interlayer. It is found that the diamond film can be formed on a Fe substrate using a Si interlayer and that heat treatment and thickening the interlayer improve its quality.

<jats:p> Pelargonium graveolens L'Hér, also referred to as rose geranium, is a popular herbal plant with typical rosy fragrance largely based on the blend of monoterpenoid constituents. Among them, citronellol, which is biosynthesized from geraniol via double bond reduction, is the most abundant scent compound. In this study, three 12-oxophytodienoic acid reductases (PgOPR1–3) have been cloned from P. graveolens, as possible candidates for the double-bond reductase involved in citronellol biosynthesis. The bacterially expressed recombinant PgOPRs did not reduce geraniol to citronellol, but stereoselectively converted citral into ( S)-citronellal in the presence of NADPH. Thus, the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl moiety in the substrate is essential for the catalytic activity of PgOPRs, as reported for OPRs from other plants and structurally related yeast old yellow enzymes. PgOPRs promiscuously accepted linear and cyclic α,β-unsaturated carbonyl substrates, including methacrolein, a typical reactive carbonyl compound. The possible biotechnological applications for PgOPRs in plant metabolic engineering, based on their catalytic properties, are discussed herein. </jats:p>

Ephedra plants are taxonomically classified as gymnosperms, and are medicinally important as the botanical origin of crude drugs and as bioresources that contain pharmacologically active chemicals. Here we show a comparative analysis of the transcriptomes of aerial stems and roots of Ephedra sinica based on high-throughput mRNA sequencing by RNA-Seq. De novo assembly of short cDNA sequence reads generated 23,358, 13,373, and 28,579 contigs longer than 200 bases from aerial stems, roots, or both aerial stems and roots, respectively. The presumed functions encoded by these contig sequences were annotated by BLAST (blastx). Subsequently, these contigs were classified based on gene ontology slims, Enzyme Commission numbers, and the InterPro database. Furthermore, comparative gene expression analysis was performed between aerial stems and roots. These transcriptome analyses revealed differences and similarities between the transcriptomes of aerial stems and roots in E. sinica. Deep transcriptome sequencing of Ephedra should open the door to molecular biological studies based on the entire transcriptome, tissue- or organ-specific transcriptomes, or targeted genes of interest.

Indocyanine green (ICG) accumulation in hepatocellular carcinoma means tumors can be located by fluorescence. However, because of light scattering, it is difficult to detect ICG fluorescence from outside the body. We propose a new fluorescence imaging method that detects changes in the intensity of ICG fluorescence by ultrasound-induced temperature changes.ICG fluorescence intensity decreases as the temperature rises. Therefore, it should theoretically be possible to detect tissue distribution of ICG using ultrasound to heat tissue, moving the point of ultrasound transmission, and monitoring changes in fluorescence intensity. A new probe was adapted for clinical application. It consisted of excitation light from a laser, fluorescence sensing through a light pipe, and heating by ultrasound. We applied the probe to bovine liver to image the accumulation of ICG.ICG emits fluorescence (820 nm) upon light irradiation (783 nm). With a rise in temperature, the fluorescence intensity of ICG decreased by 0.85 %/°C. The distribution of fluorescent ICG was detected using an ultrasonic warming method in a new integrated probe.Modulating fluorescence by changing the temperature using ultrasound can determine where ICG accumulates at a depth, highlighting its potential as a means to locate hepatocellular carcinoma.

<p>This research investigates the direct phenol production from toluene by dielectric-barrier discharge (DBD) plasma in a mixture gas of argon and water vapor. Two kinds of experiment were conducted. The first experiment was by irradiating the surface of liquid toluene with DBD plasma jet, and the second one was by generating DBD plasma in a bottle of toluene into which the mixture gas was flowing. The maximum phenol yields at the first and second experiment were 0.8×10^-3% and 3.2×10^-3%, respectively. The phenol yield at the first experiment increased with decrease of input power for the DBD. The phenol yield at the second experiment took the maximum when the water for making the mixture gas by bubbling was the room temperature.</p>

Chemotherapy for unresectable pancreatic cancer should not only prolong survival but maintain quality of life, considering its limited life expectancy. To achieve these goals, biweekly gemcitabine plus S-1 was assessed in the clinical practice setting.Fifty-two patients with either locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer who received biweekly gemcitabine plus S-1 as a first-line anti-cancer treatment were included in this study. Treatment delivery, toxicity, response, and survival were reviewed to assess the feasibility and efficacy.The completion rate of treatment delivery was 95.1%, with relative dose intensity of 97.1% for gemcitabine and 97.3% for S-1. Overall, grade 3 or worse adverse events were rare, with hematologic toxicities occurring in 5.8%. The objective response rate was 30.8%, and more than a 50% reduction of CA19-9 was observed in 77.1%. Surgical conversion was completed with a margin-negative resection in four patients whose tumor had shrunk for at least 6 months. The median progression-free and overall survivals were 10.4 and 18.2 months, respectively. Reduction of CA19-9 was associated with longer survival.Biweekly gemcitabine plus S-1 may be a good alternative to current standard chemotherapies for unresectable pancreatic cancer with less toxicity and less treatment burden without losing efficacy.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a less invasive option for cancer treatment that has evolved through recent developments in nanotechnology. We have designed and synthesized a novel liposome system that includes an indocyanine green (ICG) derivative, ICG-C18, in its bilayer. In addition to its use as an optical imager to visualize blood, lymphatic, and bile flow, ICG has also been used as an optical sensitizer. In the present report, we evaluate the use of our novel liposome system, LP-ICG-C18, in PDT for squamous cell carcinoma in an autologous murine model.An excitation pulse beam (300 μJ/pulse) of a single band (800 nm) was used for sensitization. The cytotoxicity of the photodynamic therapy was evaluated in terms of cellular morphology changes, methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay results, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining. We tested the enhanced permeability and retention effect of LP-ICG-C18 in tumor-bearing C3H/He mice using a near-infrared fluorescence imaging system and fluorescence microscopy. We also examined the antitumor effect of PDT by measuring tumor volume in tumor-bearing mice.Cell death and apoptosis were only observed in the PDT group receiving LP-ICG-C18. LP-ICG-C18 itself had no cytotoxic activity and showed good biocompatibility. LP-ICG-C18 accumulated on the tumor 24 hours after injection and was retained for approximately 3 weeks. Tumor cell apoptosis following PDT with LP-ICG-C18 was also observed under optical microscopy, MTT assay, and TUNEL staining.These findings suggest that LP-ICG-C18 may be an effective intervening material in PDT for malignant disease.

The objective of this research is to investigate the possibility of producing phenol directly from a mixture of toluene and water by in-liquid plasma and to understand the process of converting toluene into phenol. Radio frequency (RF) in-liquid plasma was used to synthesize phenol from toluene. In addition, GAUSSIAN was used to predict the process of conversion and other products. In the proposed method of phenol production, OH radicals produced from water molecules by in-liquid plasma play a major role during the process of direct chemical reaction with toluene. The experimental results showed that phenol can be directly produced from toluene, and benzyl alcohol and formaldehyde were synthesized in the process.

<jats:p> To obtain the structural diversity of bioactive compounds similar to cotylenins and fusicoccins that modulate 14-3-3 protein-protein interactions in eukaryotes, screening tests were carried out using the lettuce seed dormancy breaking-assay. An acetone extract of the liverwort Plagiochila sciophila exhibited significant activity against the seeds in the presence of the plant hormone abscisic acid. Activity-guided fractionation of the extract afforded the isolation of seven novel fusicoccane-type diterpenoids, named fusicosciophins A-E (1–5), 8-deacetyl (6) and 9-deacetyl fusicosciophin E (7). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods and X-ray crystallographic analyses. All the pure isolated compounds (1–7) exhibited moderate lettuce seed dormancy breaking activity. In addition, the differentiation-inducing activity and cytotoxicity of these isolates, together with fusicoccin A (FC-A) and all- trans retinoic acid (ATRA), were evaluated in human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells and human mouth epidermal carcinoma KB cells, respectively. Fusicosciophins (2 and 4) and FC-A exhibited moderate differentiation-inducing activity (EC<jats:sub>50</jats:sub> 31.2~59.1μM) compared with ATRA (EC<jats:sub>50</jats:sub> 0.3μM), while 2, 4 and ATRA exhibited higher selectivity indices (IC<jats:sub>50</jats:sub>/EC<jats:sub>50</jats:sub> >3.38~667) than FC-A (IC<jats:sub>50</jats:sub>/EC<jats:sub>50</jats:sub> 1.05). This is the first report on the isolation of fusicoccane-type diterpenoids from liverworts having seed dormancy breaking activity and differentiation-inducing activity in mammal cells. </jats:p>

<jats:p> To find new metabolites similar to cotylenins and fusicoccins from the fungus Alternaria brassicicola, screening tests were carried out using the lettuce seed dormancy breaking assay. Activity-guided fractionation of the EtOAc extract from the culture using the assay afforded the isolation of two novel fusicoccane diterpenoids named brassicicenes J (1) and K (2), along with three known brassicicenes A (3), B (4), and F (5). Their structures were elucidated from extensive NMR spectral data and by comparison of these with those reported in the literature. Brassicicenes (1–5) exhibited weak to moderate seed dormancy breaking activities against lettuce seeds in the presence of abscisic acid. In addition, the necrotic/apoptotic activities of the brassicicenes (1–5), fusicoccin A (6) and cotylenin A (7) were evaluated by determining their cytotoxicity, cell viability and caspase-3/7 activation on the HL-60 cell line. Brassicicene K (2) exhibited similar cytostatic profiles to that of cotylenin A (7), and brassicicenes J (1), A (3), B (4), and F (5) exhibited necrotic activity. This is the first report of the seed dormancy breaking activity of brassicicenes in plants, and of necrotic/apoptotic activity in mammalian cells. </jats:p>

© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014. Clathrate hydrates, which were formed from methane and cyclopentane, were decomposed by plasma at atmospheric pressure. Methane hydrate was synthesized by injecting methane into shaved ice in the reactor at a pressure of 7 MPa and a temperature of 0 °C. In addition, cyclopentane hydrate was formed by adding surfactant into cyclopentane-water emulsion at 0.1 MPa and a temperature of 0 °C. The process of plasma decomposition of clathrate hydrates has been carried out by irradiating high frequency plasma at the tip of the electrode in clathrate hydrates. 2.45 GHz MW oven and 27.12 MHz RF irradiation were used. This study results gas production that its content identified by gas chromatograph. High purity of hydrogen would be extracted from clathrate hydrate using the in-liquid plasma method.

Liposomally formulated indocyanine green (LP-ICG) has drawn much attention as a highly sensitive near-infrared (NIR)-fluorescence probe for tumors or lymph nodes in vivo. We synthesized ICG derivatives tagged with alkyl chains (ICG-Cn), and we examined NIR-fluorescence imaging for lymph nodes in the lower extremities of mice by using liposomally formulated ICG-Cn (LP-ICG-Cn) as well as conventional liposomally formulated ICG (LP-ICG) and ICG. Analysis with a noninvasive preclinical NIR-fluorescence imaging system revealed that LP-ICG-Cn accumulates in only the popliteal lymph node 1h after injection into the footpad, whereas LP-ICG and ICG accumulate in the popliteal lymph node and other organs like the liver. This result indicates that LP-ICG-Cn is a useful NIR-fluorescence probe for noninvasive in vivo bioimaging, especially for the sentinel lymph node.

The purpose of this study is to efficiently produce hydrogen gas from saccharide using 27.12 MHz radiofrequency (RF) in-liquid plasma with and without ultrasonic irradiation. The experiments were conducted adopting two different ultrasonic frequencies, one from a 29 kHz horn-type ultrasonic transducer and the other from a 1.6 MHz piezoelectric transducer. The glucose solution and cellulose suspension concentrations were varied from 0.5 wt% to 50 wt% and 0.5 wt% to 20 wt% respectively. Hydrogen gas was then produced by the decomposition of the glucose solution and cellulose suspension by RF in-liquid plasma with and without ultrasonic irradiation. The hydrogen production rate from glucose solution with ultrasonic irradiation applied was greater than that without ultrasonic irradiation. However, no hydrogen production rate enhancement was observed from decomposition of cellulose suspension with ultrasonic irradiation applied. Ultrasonic atomization and agitation enhanced the chemical reaction of nonvolatile glucose in in-liquid plasma. The increase of the gas production rate was caused by the direct decomposition of the glucose by the plasma due to the atomized glucose molecules being fed into the plasma in a bubble. In addition, by using a high-speed camera, it was clarified that acoustic streaming occurred when a 1.6 MHz piezoelectric transducer was used in the experiment.

Hydrogen is more attractive as an efficient and environmental friendly source of energy. In order to study the effect of ultrasonic vibration on enhancing the production of hydrogen, 27.12 MHz radio-frequency (RF) in-liquid plasma was observed with and without ultrasonic vibration applied. Two types of ultrasonic transducers were used, a 29 kHz horn-type ultrasonic transducer and a 1.6 MHz piezoelectric transducer. In-liquid plasma is generated inside a bubble generated by evaporation of a liquid heated by plasma resulting in a high temperature chemical reaction field within the liquid to which ultrasonic vibrations were then applied to enhance the chemical reaction process. 120 ml of glucose solution was used as a biomass model. The solution varied from 0.5wt% to 20wt% of glucose in order to observe the hydrogen production rate, hydrogen yield and selectivity. The results indicated that the application of 1.6 MHz ultrasonic vibration to RF in-liquid plasma enhanced the hydrogen production rate by approximately 34% due to acoustic streaming. On the other hand, enhancements of 13% of hydrogen yield and 4.6% of hydrogen selectivity were indicated by the application of 29 kHz ultrasonic vibration to RF in-liquid plasma with. The reason is believed to be due to a mechanochemical effect. Hence, ultrasonic vibration synergized the production of hydrogen from glucose solution.

In the present study, two methods for methane hydrate decomposition were conducted, one was using 27.12 MHz radio-frequency plasma jet and another was radio-frequency plasma using a monopole antenna. The objective of this research is to investigate a method to enhance production of hydrogen gas by the plasma from methane hydrate. When the RF plasma irradiated to methane hydrate, the hydrogen production ratio was 42.6% and the hydrogen generation efficiency was 1.9 ml/kJ. On the other hand, the ratio of hydrogen in exhaust gas by the decomposition using plasma jet was decreased with increase of the flow rate from 0 to 150 mL/min. However, when the flow rate was 200 mL/min, the ratio of hydrogen had most greatly 15.6%. The hydrogen generation efficiency tended to be a similar analysis result.

Abstract The electrical breakdown of microwave plasma in water was investigated between 1 and 30 kPa. The dependency of the ignition power for generating plasma on the size of coaxial electrode was measured. The ignition power decreases with a decrease of the diameter of the inner electrode. The behavior of microwave plasma in water was observed using a high-speed camera. The plasma ignites in a bubble generated by microwave heating. The model for calculating the electric field was created on the basis of the captured images of the bubble just before plasma ignition. The method presented can be used to visualize the electrical field distribution in the bubble. The electric field breakdown was calculated using the measured ignition power. The electric field breakdown of plasma in water is of the same order as gas phase plasma.

Abstract Tungsten trioxide nanoparticles were synthesized from a tungsten wire by plasma generated in water by 2.45 GHz microwaves. The effect of synthesis pressure, power and wire diameter on the formation of nanoparticles and the production rate was investigated. The character of the produced nanoparticles was determined by XRD, absorption spectrum, TEM and particle size distribution. The method proposed in this paper allows control of the nanoparticle size and shape and the optical properties through pressure alone without any additives. In one specific experiment, spherical nanoparticles with a peak diameter of 7 nm were synthesized from a tungsten wire with a diameter of 1 mm by 200 W at 20 kPa at a high production rate of 4 mg/s. Whereas, rhombic cylindrical nanoparticles together with spherical nanoparticles were synthesized with a peak diameter of 13 nm at 101 kPa. In addition, plasma and bubble behavior was observed by high-speed camera. Use of a plate to control the updraft of the bubbles caused the gap between the plate and the coaxial electrode to remain consistently filled with bubbles, and plasma generation continued without pause.

While gene knockout technology can reveal the roles of proteins in cellular functions, including in mast cells, fetal death due to gene manipulation frequently interrupts experimental analysis. We generated mast cells from mouse fetal liver (FLMC), and compared the fundamental functions of FLMC with those of bone marrow-derived mouse mast cells (BMMC). Under electron microscopy, numerous small and electron-dense granules were observed in FLMC. In FLMC, the expression levels of a subunit of the FcεRI receptor and degranulation by IgE cross-linking were comparable with BMMC. By flow cytometry we observed surface expression of c-Kit prior to that of FcεRI on FLMC, although on BMMC the expression of c-Kit came after FcεRI. The surface expression levels of Sca-1 and c-Kit, a marker of putative mast cell precursors, were slightly different between bone marrow cells and fetal liver cells, suggesting that differentiation stage or cell type are not necessarily equivalent between both lineages. Moreover, this indicates that phenotypically similar mast cells may not have undergone an identical process of differentiation. By comprehensive analysis using the next generation sequencer, the same frequency of gene expression was observed for 98.6% of all transcripts in both cell types. These results indicate that FLMC could represent a new and useful tool for exploring mast cell differentiation, and may help to elucidate the roles of individual proteins in the function of mast cells where gene manipulation can induce embryonic lethality in the mid to late stages of pregnancy.

In-liquid plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method is useful for high speed production of high quality diamond films. The method is simple and secure comparing usual CVD methods. In this paper, new electrodes for in-liquid plasma CVD by receiving microwaves are developed and introduced. This paper examines the fabrication of electrodes that enable the generation of plasma by effectively receiving microwaves. The fabricated electrodes are used to generate plasma in a waste liquid and the performance of the electrode is evaluated by the speed at which gases are created by decomposing the liquid. By using experiments in decomposing n-dodecane using in-liquid plasma and through detailed investigation into the length of the electrode used, it is confirmed that the half wavelength is optimal for the generation of plasma. The fabri-cated electrodes are used to test the formation of diamond film by plasma CVD in the microwave oven. Diamond film is successfully created inside microwave oven by using the vapor from a mixture of methanol and ethanol.

The purpose of this study is to produce hydrogen gas from saccharide efficiently using 27.12 MHz radio-frequency (RF) in-liquid plasma. In order to enhance the production rate of hydrogen gas, ultrasonic irradiation was added to the plasma. The experiments were conducted adopting two different ultrasonic frequencies, 29 kHz using a horn-type transducer and 1.6 MHz using a piezoelectric transducer. When 29 kHz ultrasonic irradiation was added to the RF plasma in 0 to 10wt% glucose solution, the hydrogen production rate increased 4-17% from that without ultrasonic irradiation. When 1.6 MHz ultrasonic irradiation was applied to the RF plasma in 5wt% glucose solution, the gas production rate increased 90-150% from that without ultrasonic irradiation. The effects of ultrasonic atomization and agitation in the solution of nonvolatile glucose enhance a chemical reaction of the in-liquid plasma.

Abstract Methane hydrate, formed by injecting methane into 100 g of shaved ice at a pressure of 7 MPa and reactor temperature of 0 °C, was decomposed by applying 27.12 MHz radio frequency plasma in order to produce hydrogen. The process involved the stimulation of plasma in the methane hydrate with a variable input power at atmospheric pressure. It was observed that production of CH 4 is optimal at a slow rate of CH 4 release from the methane hydrate, as analyzed by in light of the steam methane reforming (SMR) and the methane cracking reaction (MCR) processes in accordance with the content of gas production. In comparison with the steam methane reforming (SMR), it was found that methane-cracking reaction (MCR) was dominant in conversion of CH 4 into hydrogen. An H 2 content of 55% in gas production was obtained from conversion of 40% of CH 4 at an input power of 150 W. The results clearly show that hydrogen can be directly produced from methane hydrate by the in-liquid plasma method.

The pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis is among several mollusc species that have been well investigated due to the simplicity of their nervous systems and large identifiable neurons. Nonetheless, despite the continued attention given to the physiological characteristics of its nervous system, the genetic information of the Lymnaea central nervous system (CNS) has not yet been fully explored. The absence of genetic information is a large disadvantage for transcriptome sequencing because it makes transcriptome assembly difficult. We here performed transcriptome sequencing for Lymnaea CNS using an Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx platform and obtained 81.9 M of 100 base pair (bp) single end reads. For de novo assembly, five programs were used: ABySS, Velvet, OASES, Trinity and Rnnotator. Based on a comparison of the assemblies, we chose the Rnnotator dataset for the following blast searches and gene ontology analyses. The present dataset, 116,355 contigs of Lymnaea transcriptome shotgun assembly (TSA), contained longer sequences and was much larger compared to the previously reported Lymnaea expression sequence tag (EST) established by classical Sanger sequencing. The TSA sequences were subjected to blast analyses against several protein databases and Aplysia EST data. The results demonstrated that about 20,000 sequences had significant similarity to the reported sequences using a cutoff value of 1e-6, and showed the lack of molluscan sequences in the public databases. The richness of the present TSA data allowed us to identify a large number of new transcripts in Lymnaea and molluscan species.

Abstract The erosion of a conventional bare metallic electrode for generation of microwave plasma in liquid was investigated. The spectra of plasma, the surface temperature of the electrode and the erosion rate were measured by a spectroscope, a radiation thermometer and an analytical balance, respectively. The intensity of the spectral lines indicating the erosion of the metallic electrode and erosion rate depends upon the microwave power. To avoid metallic contamination, a coaxial electrode for generating microwave plasma on a dielectric material was developed. The metallic electrode is encased in an alumina closed tube. The side of the alumina closed tube is further covered with an open Teflon tube. It has been confirmed that the electric field is strongest at the point where the alumina closed tube, Teflon opened tube and liquid intersect as determined by the two-dimensional Finite-Difference Time-Domain (2D-FDTD) method. Synthesis of amorphous-carbon deposition in ethanol was conducted. The developed electrode enables synthesis with a smooth deposition.

The purpose of this experiment is conversion of cellulose dispersed in water as fuel using in-liquid plasma. 27.12 MHz high-frequency plasma was generated in aqueous suspension of cellulose powder or aqueous solution of glucose which is monosaccharide. The gas production rate was measured and the components of the gas production were analyzed. When the concentration of cellulose was 40wt% or higher, the production rate became remarkably high because the ball-like aggregation of hydrous cellulose fell into the plasma and the cellulose was decomposed directly by plasma. On the other hand, the glucose and cellulose with 27wt% or lower was decomposed indirectly by plasma, because the emission spectrum from the species which comprises carbon atom was not detected by spectroscopic analysis.

The purpose of this research is the industrialization of hydrogen production using a commercial microwave oven by generating plasma in waste oil. N-dodecane, engine oil and cooking oil were used as a liquid. N-dodecane can be circulated in the experimental device to assume continuous production of hydrogen. The gas production rate was measured, the content of the produced gas was analyzed. The energy efficiency which was expressed as the ratio of the consumed power for the chemical reaction to the microwave power was calculated. The energy efficiency increased with decrease of the microwave power, and reached 14% at the maximum. To improve the energy efficiency the reaction vessel was decompressed. The gas production rate became approximately 2 times larger and the ratio of hydrogen in the produced gas.

Abstract Nanoparticles are continuously synthesized from submerged magnesium, zinc, and silver rods 1–2 mm in diameter by microwave plasma in pure water at 20 kPa. Magnesium-hydroxide nanoplates shaped as triangles, truncated triangles or hexagons with 25–125 nm in size are synthesized with a production rate of 60 g h−1. Zinc-oxide nanoparticles formed as sharp sticks with diameters of 50 nm and lengths of 150–200 nm are synthesized with a production rate of 14 g h−1. Silver nanoparticles with a diameter of approximately 6 nm are synthesized with a production rate of 0.8 g h−1. The excitation temperature is estimated by applying the Boltzmann plot method in assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium. The excitation temperatures obtained from hydrogen, magnesium, and zinc lines are 3300 ± 100 K, 4000 ± 500 K, and 3200 ± 500 K, respectively.

Abstract Polyethylene containing trans - or cis -vinylene units in the main chain has been synthesized by means of partial hydrogenation of trans - or cis -polypentenamer (TP or CP), and trans -polyoctenamer (TO). Crystalline structure of the polymers has been investigated with wide-angle X-ray diffraction, FT-IR analyses, solid-state NMR measurements and quantum chemical calculations of the NMR chemical shifts. These results clear that the partially hydrogenated TP or CP samples having an average number of methylene units of 6.9–8.4 per vinylene unit forms not only orthorhombic crystal but hexagonal-like crystal.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the mechanism of diamond synthesis using an in-liquid plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. We investigated the chemical reactions from a liquid mixture of methanol and ethanol (in-liquid plasma CVD) and a gas mixture of methane and hydrogen (gas-phase CVD). Carbon monoxide (CO) is firstly synthesized and then a chemical reaction using the remaining carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) is induced to synthesize a carbon substance. Residual H radicals act as an etchant removing the incompletely binding carbon atom that hinders diamond crystal growth. From spectroscopic measurements, CO peaks were clearly observed when the oxygen component is contained in the raw materials. From the experimental results of carbon deposits using various liquid and gas mixtures as the raw materials, we found that the region of the remaining H and C after CO synthesis satisfying H/C > 20 is necessary to synthesize diamonds using in-liquid plasma CVD method. The region of H/C > 20 in the Bachmann C-H-O diagram nearly agrees with the experimental results of synthesizing diamonds. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The excitation temperature, electron density, temperature of OH, and behavior of bubbles generated by a 27.12 MHz in-liquid plasma are investigated in water under pressures ranging from 0.1 to 0.4 MPa. The excitation temperature decreases as the pressure increases and, conversely, the temperature of OH and the electron density increase. Since the plasma can be generated stably even under high-pressure conditions and the liquid provides a cooling effect, the electrode is not damaged by the heat. The bubbles generated from the tip of the electrode have a fixed relationship between their diameter and departure frequency. The in-liquid plasma can be stably generated even under high pressures and it maintains a high superheated state of a few thousand K. A boiling phenomenon in the in-liquid plasma uses the plasma itself as a heat source. © 2011 IOP Publishing Ltd.

A radio frequency plasma was generated and maintained in water over a wide range of water conductivities (0.2-7000 mS m-1). The conductivity of water was changed by adding NaCl to it. The size of the plasma increased with conductivity. Although the intensity of the OH(A-X) line monotonically decreased with increasing conductivity, the generation of hydrogen peroxide and the degradation of methylene blue suggested that the number of generated OH radicals decreased with increasing conductivity in the range 0.2-80 mS m-1 and increased in the range 80-7000 mS m-1. Ultraviolet irradiation was found to enhance the degradation of methylene blue not only in pure water but also in high-conductivity water (≃5000 mS m-1). © 2011 IOP Publishing Ltd.

Abstract Nanoparticles are synthesized efficiently from zinc electrode by microwave plasma in liquid. The nanoparticles synthesized from alcohol resulted in pure zinc particles in the shape of spheres or hexagonal cylinders with a production rate of 3.3 g/h, and energy consumption of 267 J/mg for 1 mg. Whereas the nanoparticles synthesized in pure water are composed of Zn and ZnO. The Zn reacts with water through heat or the passage of time to become ZnO, releasing hydrogen gas. An upper disk placed 1 mm away from the electrode along with the bubbles generated simultaneously with the plasma ignition plays a key role in the synthesis of nanoparticles.

The purpose of this research is to develop a process to use the plasma decomposition of clathrate hydrates to produce fuel gas. An ordinary microwave (MW) oven is used as the source of 2.45 GHz MW radiation under atmospheric-pressure. The plasma decomposition of the hydrates could pave the way for a new utilization of atmospheric pressure plasma. Cyclopentane (CP) hydrate formed at atmospheric pressure was decomposed by plasma in a MW oven generating gas with a content of 65% hydrogen, 12% CO, and 8% CO_2. About 32% of the MW input power was consumed to decompose the hydrate.

<jats:p>The purpose of this research is to develop a process to use plasma decomposition of hydrocarbon liquids or clathrate hydrates in a microwave oven to produce fuel gas while simultaneously solidifying the carbon and synthesizing it into useful carbonized materials, such as CNTs or activated charcoal. Hydrogen gas with a purity of 60% to 80% can be extracted using a conventional microwave oven. This means that the energy efficiency of hydrogen production using this method is estimated to be approximately 50% of that by electrolysis of alkaline water and approximately 1% of that by the natural gas steam reforming method. However, this process has the added benefit of producing solid carbon at the same time. This method can be applied to a wide variety of waste liquids, or hydrate. Surplus electrical energy could be used to process waste liquids from homes and factories, and the resulting hydrogen energy could be stored and used.</jats:p>

Abstract Plasma was generated in water by irradiation at high frequency of 13.56 MHz, and the behavior of bubbles including the plasma was observed by a high-speed camera. The generation pattern of the bubbles was classified into four types according to liquid temperature and supplied power. Conducting the simulation, the maximum temperature in the bubble was found to be from 3500 K to 4300 K, and the decomposition of water molecule occurred. The gas in the bubble was found to become high ratio of hydrogen. The phenomenon can be regarded as a film boiling of exceptionally high heat flux.

The characteristics of diamond synthesis by 2.45 GHz microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) under pressures greater than atmospheric pressure were investigated. The deposits on Si substrates were identified by scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The growth rate of diamond was found to be 250 μm/h at 300 kPa, which is ten times greater than that of the conventional low-pressure CVD method. In order to make high-speed deposition of diamond effective, the diamond growth rates for gas-phase microwave plasma CVD were compared to those from the in-liquid plasma CVD method. The growth rate was found to increase as system pressure increased, displaying the same tendency of that in-liquid plasma CVD. The amounts of input microwave energy per unit volume of diamond in the gas-phase and in-liquid plasma CVD methods were also compared. The amount of input microwave energy per unit volume of diamond was found to be 0.6 to 1 kWh/mm3. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The degradation of methylene blue by radio frequency (RF) plasmas in water under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation was studied experimentally. When the methylene blue solution was exposed to RF plasma, UV irradiation from a mercury vapor lamp enhanced degradation significantly. A lamp without power supply also enhanced degradation since weak UV light was emitted weakly from the lamp due to the excitation of mercury vapor by stray RF power. Such an enhancement is explained by the fact that after hydrogen peroxide is produced via the recombination process of OH radicals around the plasma, OH radicals reproduced from hydrogen peroxide via the photolysis process degrade methylene blue.

<jats:p>The effect of the shape of the electrode to generate 2.45 GHz microwave plasma in pure water is examined. Three variations of a common coaxial electrode are proposed, and compared according to the power required for plasma ignition and the position of plasma ignition in pure water at 6 kPa using a high-speed camera. These coaxial electrodes are calculated using three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method calculations. The superior shape of coaxial electrode is found to be one with a flat plane on the tip of the inner electrode and dielectric substance located below the tip of the outer electrode. The position of the plasma ignition is related to the shape of the coaxial electrode. By solving the heat-conduction equation of water around the coaxial electrode taking into account the absorption of the microwave energy, the position of the plasma ignition is found to be not where electric field is the largest, but rather where temperature is maximized.</jats:p>

純水中に発生するマイクロ波液中プラズマの点火位置を高速度カメラで観察した。また、3D-FDTD法を用いて電極表面の電界を計算し、マイクロ波によって加熱される液体が吸収する熱量を計算した。この熱量を使って電極周辺の液体の温度計算した結果、プラズマが発生する電極表面の電界強度の最も高い位置と、最も温度が高い位置は必ずしも一致しないことが明らかになった。また、実験から測定したプラズマの点火位置と数値計算によって求めた最も温度の高い地点が一致した。

The synthesis of diamond using in-liquid plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is investigated in this study. Plasma in methanol solution is generated by applying microwave radiation of 2.45 GHz. The composition of the solution and the pressure in the container were varied as experimental parameters. No substrate cooling equipment was required in this process owing to the cooling effect of the liquid itself. The deposits on Si substrates were identified by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy. A diamond film containing impurities, which was confirmed to have a growth rate of 192μm/h, was obtained. The deposit had sufficient hardness within the 15 to 80 GPa range, which is suitable for industrial hard coating. Deposition rate increased as system pressure increased, displaying the same tendency of conventional microwave CVD. Optical emission spectroscopy was used to characterize the in-liquid plasma for chemical reaction. © 2009 The Japan Society of Applied Physics.

Since in-liquid plasma can be used in a liquid as a chemical reactor, it has an advantage in a treatment technology of a waste liquid and fuel gas production. The purpose of this research is to examine the basic characteristic of in-liquid plasma. In this research, a spectroscope is used for measuring the emission spectra of the in-liquid plasma. In-liquid plasma is generated by applying high-frequency (HF) irradiation of 27.12MHz into a pure water. As for the distribution of the emission intensities, of the emission intensities H and 0 are high in the vicinity of the plasma, where that of OH becomes high in the upper area of the plasma. Electron temperature has a distribution, and becomes the highest at the center of the plasma at 10kPa. The change of the electron temperature in the vertical direction is bigger than that in the horizontal direction. The electron temperature decreases with pressure increases.

In-liquid plasma has been expected as an advanced technology of generating plasma in a liquid by a high frequency(HF) or a microwave(MW) irradiation. In this study, 27.12MHz HF plasma is generated in pure water as well as in air. The phase difference of voltage and current waveforms before and after plasma ignition, and the self-bias voltage are investigated by using an oscilloscope. The electrical property of plasma as an equivalent circuit can be explained from the difference of the phase difference qualitatively. The self-bias voltage became positive with pressure increase when the electrode made of a tungsten rod is used. As pressure increases, the electron supply into the plasma changes from a secondary electron discharge to thermionic emission.

Distributions of emission intensity from radicals, electron temperature and rotational temperature at a radio frequency of 27.12MHz plasma in water are clarified by detailed spectroscopy measurement. Through this investigation, the following were observed. The points of maximum emission intensity of Hα, Hβ, O(777 nm) and O (845 nm) are almost the same, while that of OH shifts upward. The electron temperature decreases, while the rotational temperature increases with pressure. The distribution of the electron temperature changes at a threshold pressure, which is concerned with a change in the electron discharge mechanism. The point of the maximum rotational temperature of OH radicals shifts to approximately 1 mm above that for the maximum intensity of OH emission.

The purpose of this study is to clear the synthesizing mechanism of the compound materials using plasma CVD method. The determination method of the chemical reaction using the values of electronegativity and ionization energy is presented. The chemical reaction between the atom that has the highest electronegativity and the atom that has the lowest ionization energy occurs with first priority. The calculated results using the method have good agreement with the experimental results of synthesizing materials such as carbon and silicon carbide. Consequently, the method is useful to synthesizing compound semiconductors using plasma CVD method.

<jats:p>The plasma in liquid is generated by applying High-Frequency (HF) irradiation of 27.12 MHz or Microwave (MW) irradiation of 2.45 GHz from an electrode, namely, a monopole-antenna electrode inserted into a reactor vessel. n-dodecane, methanol, and water are used as test liquids. The glow discharge plasma can be kept in spite of atmospheric pressure due to the cooling effect of liquid itself. The light emission from the plasma changes substantially according to the behavior of the bubble. The present Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) process also enabled simultaneous production of hydrogen gas and the synthesis of the Carbon Nano-Tubes (CNTs) in hydrocarbon liquids. The actual production of hydrogen per unit energy by this process corresponds to approximately 1% of that by conventional steam reforming method and about 32% of that by the alkaline water electrolysis. Moreover, this process can make the solid carbon of about 14 g/h at the same time.</jats:p>

A receiving antenna unit consisting of seven copper rods is placed at the bottom of the reactor furnace in the microwave oven. 2.45 GHz microwave in-liquid plasma can be generated at the tips of the electrodes in the microwave oven. When the n-dodecane is decomposed by plasma, 74% pure hydrogen gas can be achieved with this device. The hydrogen generation efficiency for a 750 W magnetron output is estimated to be approximately 56% of that of the electrolysis of water. Also, in this process up to 4 mg/s of solid carbon can be produced at the same time.

Spectroscopic measurements of high frequency (hf) plasma were performed under high pressure conditions (5 and 7 MPa) and supercritical (sc) CO2 conditions (8-20 MPa). Temperature evaluated from C2 Swan bands (d 3 Πg →a 3 Πu) increased from 3600 to 4600 K with an increase in pressure. The first observation of broadening and shifting of the O I line profile (3 p 5 P3,2,1 →3 s 5 S20) of hf plasma under sc CO2 conditions was carried out. However, the origin of broadening and the shifting cannot be understood because the present theory explaining them is not valid for such high pressure conditions. © 2009 American Institute of Physics.

<jats:p>In order to make high-speed deposition of diamond effective, diamond growth rates for gas-phase microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition and in-liquid microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition are compared. A mixed gas of methane and hydrogen is used as the source gas for the gas-phase deposition, and a methanol solution of ethanol is used as the source liquid for the in-liquid deposition. The experimental system pressure is in the range of 60–150 kPa. While the growth rate of diamond increases as the pressure increases, the amount of input microwave energy per unit volume of diamond is 1 kW h/mm3 regardless of the method used. Since the in-liquid deposition method provides a superior cooling effect through the evaporation of the liquid itself, a higher electric input power can be applied to the electrodes under higher pressure environments. The growth rate of in-liquid microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition process is found to be greater than conventional gas-phase microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition process under the same pressure conditions.</jats:p>

A new high-rate crystal diamond synthesis method using plasma submerged in liquid alcohol was developed. The diamonds are grown by contact with the in-liquid plasma created by applying microwaves to a liquid methanol solution. The chemical reaction rate in the plasma is much higher than in the conventional gas phase plasma because the plasma is stably generated in a bubble in the liquid solution. Therefore, a very high diamond deposition rate (100 μm/h) becomes possible even under low pressure. The success of this method will be the foundation for the high-volume supply of low-cost diamond substrate. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

&ldquo;In-liquid plasma&rdquo; is generated inside the bubbles on the tip of an electrode by applying microwave radiation from the electrode. The in-liquid plasma on the tip of an electrode consists of a plasma generation region, vapor phase, bubble interface, and liquid phase. The growth of the bubble, including the plasma, in n-dodecane was observed using a high-speed camera. This was done because the pressure and the temperature surrounding the plasma needed to be clarified for utilizing it in such processes as chemical vapor deposition. The dependence of the bubble growth on the vessel pressure and on the microwave power was clarified, and the internal pressure of the bubbles was calculated by substituting the approximation curve of the observed bubble diameter in the Rayleigh-Plesset equation. The bubbles grow not continuously but intermittently as the plasma region expands and contracts. The growth of the bubbles increases with increase in the microwave power or decrease in the vessel pressure. The value of the internal pressure of the bubbles peaks between 200 and 600 hPa, it increases as the microwave power increases, and the effect of the vessel pressure on it is small. In addition, we measured the temperature surrounding the plasma using a thermocouple. The temperature can be measured vertically from the vapor phase to the liquid phase by moving the thermocouple in that direction. The point where the temperature measurable by the thermocouple reaches a maximum moves away from the tip of the electrode as the microwave power increases. The maximum temperature reaches the approximate saturation temperature of the liquid.

Radio frequency (RF) plasma in water was used for the degradation of methylene blue. The fraction of decomposition of methylene blue and the intensity of the spectral line from OH radical increased with RF power. RF plasma in water also produced hydrogen peroxide. The density of hydrogen peroxide increased with RF power and exposure time. When pure water (300 mL) is exposed to plasma at 310 W for 15 min, density of hydrogen peroxide reaches to 120 mg/L. Methylene blue after exposed to plasma degraded gradually for three weeks. This degradation may be due to chemical processes via hydrogen peroxide and tungsten. The comparison between the experimental and calculated spectral lines of OH radical (A-X) shows that the temperature of the radical is around 3,500 K. Electron density is evaluated to be 3.5 × 10 20 m -3 from the stark broadening of the H β line. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.

The glow discharge plasma can be maintained in spite of atmospheric pressure due to the cooling effect of the liquid itself. The electron temperature of the plasma generated by the 27.12 MHz radiation is higher than that generated by the 2.45 GHz radiation.

Electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy investigations of the deposited materials showed the production of tungsten oxide nanowires with or without an outer layer. The nanowires with an outer layer exhibited a coaxial structure with an outer concentric layer of amorphous carbon and an inner layer of tungsten oxide with a thickness and diameter of 20-30 and 10-20 nm, respectively. © IOP Publishing Ltd.

The behavior of 2.45 GHz microwave in-liquid plasma n-dodecane was observed using a high-speed camera. The system pressure before plasma generation was 1 or 100 hPa. The plasma was generated at the tip of a sharpened electrode, after which the plasma was found in a bubble in the liquid on the electrode. The plasma did not continuously emit light. The profile of light intensity varied between 1 and 100 hPa when the plasma faded. The behavior of the bubble by heat generation in the bubble was numerically simulated. To match experimental results, the heat generation was continued for 0.9 ms at 1 hPa and throughout the simulation at 100 hPa. The internal temperature ranged from 2,000 to 4,000 K, and the ratio of vapor n-dodecane to hydrogen produced by chemical reaction was at almost the same order at 1 hPa and approximately 1% at 100 hPa. © 2007 The Japan Society of Applied Physics.

An experiment was conducted for generating high-frequency plasma in supercritical carbon dioxide; it is expected to have the potential for applications in various types of practical processes. It was successfully generated at 6-20 MPa using electrodes mounted in a supercritical cell with a gap of 1 mm. Emission spectra were then measured to investigate the physical properties of supercritical carbon dioxide plasma. The results indicated that while the emission spectra for carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide could be mainly obtained at a low pressure, the emission spectra for atomic oxygen could be obtained in the supercritical state, which increased with the pressure. The temperature of the plasma in supercritical state was estimated to be approximately 6000-7000 K on the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium and the calculation results of thermal equilibrium composition in this state showed the increase of atomic oxygen by the decomposition of CO2. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.

A reactor for producing microwave plasma in a liquid could produce plasma in hydrocarbon liquids and waste oils. Generated gases consist of up to 81% hydrogen by volume. We confirmed that fuel gases such as methane and ethylene can be produced by microwave plasma in liquid.</jats:p>

<jats:p>The generation of microwave plasma in liquid with vapor bubbles has been achieved and will soon be applied to high-speed chemical vapor deposition. Vapor bubbles are induced from an electrode by heating. The deposition rate of diamondlike carbon films depends on the pressure and the power of the microwave supply. Polycrystalline silicon carbide is synthesized on a silicon substrate in a mixture of n-dodecane and silicone oil. The dispersion of water droplets in liquid creates many pores on the silicon carbide films. The synthesis of carbon nanotubes can be achieved in liquid benzene.</jats:p>

Stable plasma can be generated in a liquid hydrocarbon such as n-dodecane or benzene by simultaneous microwave and ultrasonic irradiation. The authors refer to this plasma as "sonoplasma" and distinguish it from "sonoluminescence" on the basis of the continuity of emission. The temperature in the plasma was obtained by measuring two specified emission intensities from the plasma, which reached approximately 5000 K. To analytically estimate the temperature, numerical simulations of the behavior of a single bubble in sound field, taking into account the absorption of microwave energy, were carried out. The temperature inside the bubble in n-dodecane reached approximately 8000 K. In benzene, the temperature inside the bubble, which continued expanding through absorption of microwave energy, exceeded 2000 K.
