title: Plasma degradation of dyes in water with contact glow discharge electrolysis.
abstract: Contact glow discharge electrolysis (CGDE) of two dyes, weak acid brilliant red B and weak acid flavine G, was investigated under different concentrations, temperature and mediums. From the variation of their concentration with the reaction time, it was demonstrated that the oxidation would be a first-order reaction. On the base line of UV spectra of solution in the degradation process, we deduced that two dyes underwent the oxidative degradation in CGDE. The rate constants, relevant coefficients and the decolorization degree were displayed under different conditions.
