presents the schematic of the reactor set up used in the present study. The plasma was generated in a three neck round bottom (RB) flask with the inner electrode made up of a stainless steel rod (Outer dia – 15 mm, with central hole of 2 mm), placed at the center of the RB flask and connected to the AC high voltage. The ground electrode was a stainless steel mesh, placed at the bottom of the outer surface.
