  The industrial application of non-thermal plasma has been a research field in
the last few years. One of the potential applications of non-thermal plasma is
in treating dye effluents of textiles industries which are considered as one of
the environmental pollutants. Before scaling up plasma technology at the
industrial level, it is required to understand the interaction of non-thermal
plasma with a synthetic dye-containing solution in laboratory experiments. A
detailed comparative study of MB dye degradation using an atmospheric pressure
air plasma (corona discharge) source is carried out in this report. The results
are qualitatively discussed in line with the available theoretical and
experimental background of plasma-water interaction.
