Atmospheric pressure plasmas and their applications, especially those based on non-thermal processes, have been extensively studied in the last decade, with focus on surface treatment, coatings and gas conversion. Individual applications depend on the current status of development in atmospheric pressure plasma sources. The plasma source based on the Fused Hollow Cathode (FHC) geometry was developed for generation of plasma in liquids. Effect of various generation regimes on the performance of plasma and on plasma distribution in water is studied without and with different auxiliary gases. The paper also discusses importance of the plasma source/reactor design for control of plasma chemical kinetics and comments on advantages and limitations of atmospheric plasma.
