Abstract

|
|
The influence of plasma discharge on the nutrient components (NO 3 -N, NH 4 -N, PO 4 -P, K, Ca, and Mg) and water quality [pH, ORP (oxidation-reduction potential) and electric conductivity] of hydroponic water were investigated. It was observed that the NH 4 -N, PO 4 -P, K, Ca, and Mg were kept at the constant concentrations for plasma discharging of 90 min. On the other hand, NO 3 -N concentration was increased with proceeding of the plasma discharge. The increase of NO 3 -N concentration was considered with the fact that nitric acid was created from nitrogen among supplying air for the insulation of inside of dielectric barrier. ORP and electric conductivity was increased with plasma discharging time. However, pH was decrease with what because of the generation of the nitric acid. When adjusting the hydroponic ingredients, pH and conductivity must to be considered because of the change of pH and conductivitiy with the discharging.
