Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the hydrogen peroxide formation in aqueous solutions under the action of glow discharge of atmospheric pressure in dependence on composition of solution and gas phase, pH and discharge current .The kinetics of formation and main characteristics of the process were shown to be close to those for the low pressure discharge. The influence of processes initiated by the dis- charge at the kinetics of peroxide formation was analyzed, including the transfer of solution components into gas phase. It was shown that properties of electrolyte solution in the active zone, formed by the action of ion bombardment in the cathode spot area, play the key role.
