The aim of this project is to develop a highly efficient technology for producing plasma-activated water (PAW) with low energy consumption. The proposed research will build on strong partnership between researchers in University of Alberta and Disruptive Separation Technology Ltd. (DSLT) specialized in microbubble generation. Expected outcomes of the project will enable high throughput production of PAW to meet the urgent need for green and sustainable technology in agriculture, food and medical disinfection. PAW generated in large quantities will be at low cost without using chemicals in the formulation or leaving toxic by-products to the users or the environment. In this project, plasma treatment will be integrated with micro/nano- bubble technology to greatly improve the efficiency of plasma activation process. A suite of analytic techniques will be explored to understand the fundamental physiochemical properties of PAW that underlie the desirable activity. Quantitative relationship between activation conditions and physicochemical properties of PAW will be established. The activation efficiency will be significantly improved by bubbles so that the power input from solar panel will be sufficient for high throughput production of PAW on-site. PAW application for improved growth of plants will be demonstrated in greenhouse. The close collaboration among the industrial organization and the research team in the University will ensure that the research findings will be taken to the next level in development and commercialization. The project will create an excellent opportunity for training highly qualified personnel through partnership with the industry.

该项目的目的是开发一种高效的低能耗等离子体活化水（PAW）生产技术。拟议的研究将建立在阿尔伯塔大学和专门从事微泡产生的破坏性分离技术有限公司（DSLT）的研究人员之间强有力的合作伙伴关系之上。该项目的预期成果将使PAW的高通量生产满足农业、食品和医疗消毒领域对绿色和可持续技术的迫切需求。大量生产的PAW将以低成本生产，不会在配方中使用化学品，也不会给使用者或环境留下有毒的副产品。在本项目中，等离子体处理将与微纳气泡技术相结合，大大提高等离子体活化过程的效率。将探索一套分析技术，以了解PAW的基本物理化学性质，这些性质是理想活性的基础。建立活化条件与PAW理化性质之间的定量关系。气泡将显著提高活化效率，从而使太阳能电池板的功率输入足以在现场高通量生产PAW。将在温室中演示PAW在促进植物生长方面的应用。工业组织和大学研究团队的紧密合作将确保研究成果在开发和商业化方面进入下一个阶段。该项目将通过与业界的合作，为培养高素质人才创造绝佳的机会。
