Abstract:
This paper described a plasma degradation of Brilliant Green (BG) by glow discharge electrolysis. Various influencing factors such as the voltage, the distance between cathode and anode were examined. Ultraviolet (UV) absorption spectra, gas chromatogram-mass spectrum (GC-MS), and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were used to monitor the degradation process and to identify the major oxidation intermediates. It was confirmed that benzoic acid, 1,2,3,4,5,6-cyclohexanehexaol, and carboxylic acids (e.g., oxalic acid, succinic acid and hydroxyacetic acid) were produced in the degradation process. The results showed that BG rapidly underwent degradation and eventually mineralized into CO(2) and H(2)O.

Spontaneous redox reactions occur abundantly in nature. The chemical reaction occurring in a disposable AA battery powering our remote controls is one such example of a spontaneous redox reaction. Another example is the immersion of coiled copper wire into an aqueous silver nitrate solution. The reaction shows a gradual, visually impressive color change from colorless to bright blue and the formation of a grey precipitate on the copper wire. In this experiment,...
