title: [Degradation of nitrobenzene in water by electrohydrodynamic DC discharge].
abstract: In this paper, the experimental results with respect to the degradation of nitrobenzene in water using electrohydrodynamic DC discharge were presented. The DC voltage was 40 kV, the degradation efficiency in the first discharge process reached 50%, the total degradation efficiency in the second discharge process reached 80%. The products contained acetone. At the same time, the degradation efficiency variation with the voltage polarity, flux, and concentration were studied. These studies will be helpful to the treatment of organic wastewater.
