Plasmas in contact with liquids can degrade organic molecules in a solution, as reactive oxygen and nitrogen species produced in the plasma solvate into the liquid. Immersing small droplets (tens of microns in diameter) in the plasma can more rapidly activate the liquid compared to treating a large volume of liquid with a smaller surface-to-volume ratio. The interactions between a radio frequency glow discharge sustained in He/H 2 O and a water droplet containing formate (HCOO− aq) immersed in and flowing through the plasma were modeled using a zero-dimensional global plasma chemistry model to investigate these activation processes. HCOO− aq interacts with OH aq, which is produced from the solvation of OH from the gas phase. The resulting HCOO− aq concentrations were benchmarked with previously reported experimental measurements. The diameter of the droplet, initial HCOO− aq concentration, and gas flow rate affect only the HCOO− aq concentration and OH aq density, leaving the OH density in the gas phase unaffected. Power deposition and gas mixture (eg percentage of H 2 O) change both the gas and liquid phase chemistry. A general trend was observed: during the first portion of droplet exposure to the plasma, OH aq primarily consumes HCOO− aq. However, O 2− aq, a byproduct of HCOO− aq consumption, consumes OH aq once O 2− aq reaches a critically large density. Using HCOO− aq as a surrogate for OH aq-sensitive contaminants, combinations of residence time, droplet diameter, water vapor density, and power will determine the optimum remediation strategy.
