Lectures |
1.
Types of electrical gas discharges (glow discharge, corona, arc discharge,
spark, radio-frequency discharges, microwave discharges) 2. Elementary
reactions in plasma; control of plasma processes. 3. Qualitative and
quantitative elemental analysis in spectrochemistry 4. Surface treatment by
plasma (cutting and welding, hardening, surface treatment, etching). 5.
Plasma application in micro- and nano-technologies. 6. Plasma-chemical
processes in metallurgy. 7. Plasma as a source of radiation (fluorescent
lamps, lasers). 8. Electric discharges in nature and protection. 9. Plasma and thermonuclear fusion. 10.
Greenhouse gases and other harmful gases; plasma treatment of gases (NOx,
SO2, CO2) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs); 11. Electrostatic
precipitators and ozoniers. 12. Plasma treatment of aqueous solutions; 13.
Treatment of hazardous solid and liquid waste by plasma (medicine, pharmacy,
chemical industry). Plasma-chemical conversion of fuel and hydrogen production;
syngas. 15. Plasma application in combustion. |

|
Examples/ practical classes |
Experimental
exercises will be adapted to the subject of plasma application studied at
faculty. Students will provide experimental exercises alone, but with the
necessary attendance of teachers. |
