Authors:    Ruma, M. Ahasan Habib, Ranipet Hafeez Basha
Abstract:   Non-thermal plasma has recently becomes a promising technology due to its technical viability in such applications as industrial, environmental, biomedical, and agricultural. Non-thermal plasma holds numerous advantageous over thermal plasma and other conventional technology such as low cost,low temperature, low heating losses, high removal efficiency, and smaller volume space. The aim of this paper is to review the commonly used non-thermal plasma generation methods including DC glow discharge,radio frequency discharge, dielectric barrier discharge, atmospheric pressure plasma jet,microwave and pulsed power discharge type plasma. Various technical realizations of these methods for different sectors are also described in this paper.

Keywords:  Non-Thermal Plasma, DC Glow, Radio Frequency, Dielectric Barrier, and Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet, Microwave, Pulsed Power Discharge
