Kinetics of the synthesis of ultradisperse cadmium and zinc oxide-like powders in a plasma-solution system

The action of the DC glow discharge on the cadmium and zinc nitrates water solution in the absence of additional reagents and without electrodes-solution contact was shown to result in the production of the solids in the liquid phase. The atmospheric pressure direct current discharge was excited in the ambient air by applying a high direct voltage to two pointed titanium electrodes placed above liquid anode and liquid cathode in the H-shaped cell. The discharge current was varied in the range of 30-70 mA and the initional solutions concentrations were 5 mM. The kinetics of particles formation was studied using turbidimetry and nephelometry methods.
