When the vessel is evacuated to saturated vapor pressure (〰5×10^3 Pa) of water, microwave breakdown gives rise to plasmas in many bubbles in the boiling water. Gas bubbling technique enables production of multibubble plasmas in water even at atmospheric pressure. Optical emissions from the exited species are investigated to identify radical species in water. In order to demonstrate application to purification of polluted water, methylene blue and trichlorethylene solution in 8 1 water were observed to rapidly decrease with multibubble plasma treatment.}, pages = {121501--121501}, title = {Multibubble plasma production and solvent decomposition in water by slot-excited microwave discharge}, volume = {91}, year = {2007} }
