Abstract: The disclosed technology includes systems and methods for clustering particles, especially water contaminants, by liquid-phase electric plasma discharge. According to certain implementations, the discharge may be applied continuously, and may be of relatively low power, e.g., a voltage between 300 V and 5000 V and an amperage between 0.1 A and 1 A. The electrodes introducing the electric discharge may be in a point-to-point configuration and with at least one electrode having a large aspect ratio. In some implementations, one or more of the voltage and amperage of the electric discharge, electrode configuration and aspect ratio, and the conductivity of the medium may enable the generation of plasma containing hydroxyl and other radicals. The radicals may catalyze polymerization of the particles, resulting in an increase in particle size and, thus, improved filterability. The polymerization process may continue after the electric discharge is discontinued or removed from influence of the medium.

Abstract: A method for the deinking of recycled fibers, in which the macerated fibers are slurried with water; introduced to a deinking cell which has a central anode and a perimetal cathode; subjected to a direct current electric field applied between the anode and the cathode, causing the ink to be attracted away from the fibers and to electrocoagulate the ink then floating to the surface of the slurry with the aid of gas bubbles generated during the application of the electric field; and washed to recover a cleaner, brighter pulp of recycled fibers.
