Abstract
Our former studies delivered a strong evidence that water indirectly treated with low-temperature, low-pressure glow plasma of low frequency (GP) changed its structure depending on the atmosphere in which such treatment was performed (air, ammonia, and nitrogen) and on the time of the treatment (0 to 120 min). In every case, water of different physicochemical characteristics and interesting biological functions was produced. Therefore, the relevant studies were extended to treating deionized water with GP under methane. The resulting samples were characterized by means of ultraviolet/visible (UV/VIS), Fourier transformation infrared-attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR), electron spin resonance (ESR) and Raman spectroscopies, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry, pH, conductivity, and refractive index. The generated samples of water had entirely different physicochemical properties from those recorded for water treated with GP in the air and under both ammonia and nitrogen. The treatment of water with GP under methane did not produce clathrates hosting methane molecules. Thermogravimetry delivered an evidence that the treatment with GP increased the aqueous solubility of methane. That solubility non-linearly changed against the treatment time.
Highlights
In our recent paper, the structure and physicochemical properties of water treated with low-temperature, low-pressure glow plasma of low frequency (GP) in the air [1] was presented.GP was developed in the proximity of the treated water
Naftusia is recommended for curing several health disorders [21,22]
In the spectrum of water saturated with methane prior to the treatment with GP, that band of absorbance of about 2.4 a.u. showed a vibrational structure resulting from simultaneous low transmissions in both light beams
Summary
The structure and physicochemical properties of water treated with low-temperature, low-pressure glow plasma of low frequency (GP) in the air [1] was presented. GP was developed in the proximity of the treated water. Under fixed parameters of the GP generation, the structure and physicochemical properties of the resulting water depended on the treatment time. In a series of subsequent papers, the benefits resulting from the use of that water were shown. That water stimulated growth and pathogenicity of entomopathogenic fungi used as biopesticides [2]. Murawski et al demonstrated the benefits of cryopreservation of ram [3] and boar [4] semen in
