The mass transfer and energy efficiency in the “batch” and “Circulating” gliding arc configuration reactors for the direct discharges and degradation of pollutants in the aqueous solution have been investigated. The mass transfer characterization and energy efficiency in this study showed that the “Batch” configuration would be more efficient than the “Circulating” reactor. The difference between these reactors is due to the plasma (gas)–solution (liquid) contact time, therefore the gas–liquid transfer phenomenon. The lowest value of pH (2.5) and high temperature obtained in the “Batch” reactor contributes to better nitrogen oxides (NO_x) transfer and solubility consequently the high conversion of the phenol in this reactor configuration (100% after 10 min of treatment) relative to that obtained in the circulating reactor (≈ 50% after 30 min) with pH 4.7.

已经研究了“间歇式”和“循环式”滑弧构型反应器中用于水溶液中污染物的直接排放和降解的传质和能效。这项研究中的传质表征和能源效率表明，“批”配置比“循环”反应器更有效。这些反应器之间的差异是由于等离子体（气体）-溶液（液体）的接触时间，因此是气体-液体的转移现象。在“间歇”反应器中获得的最低pH（2.5）和高温有助于更好的氮氧化物（NO _x）的转移和溶解度，因此相对于循环反应器（pH值为4.7）在循环反应器中获得的转化率（30分钟后约为50％），该反应器配置中的苯酚的转化率很高（处理10分钟后为100％）。
