[Study of radicals in pulsed corona discharge by emission spectroscopy].
The emission spectra of OH(A2 sigma --> X2 pi, O-O), O(3p5 P --> 3s5 S2(0)) and H(a)(3P --> 2S) produced by the positive pulsed corona discharge of N2 and H2O mixture in a needle-plate reactor have been successfully recorded against a severe electromagnetic interference coming from the pulsed corona discharge at one atmosphere. The relative populations and the vibrational temperature of N2 (C, v') were determined. The emission intensity of OH(A2 sigma --> X2 pi, 0-0) is obtained through the simulation of the emission spectra of the delta v = +1 vibration transition band of N2(C3 pi(u) --> B3 pi(g)). Relative populations of OH(A2 sigma), O(3p5 P) and H(a)(3P) have been obtained by the emission intensity of OH(A2 sigma --> X2 pi, 0-0), O(3p5 P --> 3s5 S2(0)) and H(a)(3P --> 2S) and Einstein's transition probability. The effects of discharge voltage and pulse repetition rate and oxygen flow on the relative populations of OH(A2 sigma), O(3p5 P) and H(a)(3P) are investigated.
