LOW-TEMPERATURE PLASMA REACTOR FOR AMMONIA GAS TREATMENT: EXPERIMENTAL FINDINGS

Abstract

In contemporary society, a prevailing contradiction emerges from the escalating aspirations for an enhanced quality of life, set against a backdrop of uneven and insufficient development. The pursuit of an improved living environment and heightened environmental standards constitutes a paramount objective. As the imperative of waste categorization gains traction, individuals are gradually cultivating the commendable practice of conscientious waste sorting. Yet, the persistent issue of noxious odors in proximity to waste sorting and recycling facilities proves to be a formidable challenge. These malodorous emissions, which exert a potent olfactory assault, induce discomfort, hinder respiration, and instigate restlessness. Consequently, individuals often resort to covering their noses and hastily vacating the premises, impeding the efficacy of waste categorization efforts and substantially diminishing civic engagement. Concurrently, the adverse health repercussions of foul odors extend to residents inhabiting the vicinity of waste sorting and recycling centers. These odors not only elicit repugnance but also harbor substantial health hazards, impinging on respiratory, digestive, nervous, and endocrine systems, thereby potentially instigating chronic ailments that imperil human well-being [1].
