Abstract
This article describes the temporal evolution of rotationally and vibrationally non-Boltzmann CN X2Σ+ formed behind reflected shock waves in N2-CH4 mixtures at conditions relevant to atmospheric entry into Titan. A novel ultrafast (i.e., femtosecond) laser absorption spectroscopy diagnostic was developed to provide broadband (≈400 cm-1) spectrally resolved (0.02 nm resolution) measurements of CN absorbance spectra belonging to its B2Σ+ ← X2Σ+ electronic system and its first four Δv = 0 vibrational bands (v″ = 0, 1, 2, 3). Measurements were acquired behind reflected shock waves in a mixture with 5.65% CH4 and 94.35% N2 at initial chemically and vibrationally frozen temperatures and pressures of 4400-5900 K and 0.55-0.75 bar, respectively. A six-temperature line-by-line absorption spectroscopy model for CN was developed to determine the rotational temperature of CN in v″ = 0, 1, 2, and 3, as well as two vibrational temperatures via least-squares fitting. The measured CN spectra revealed rotationally and vibrationally non-Boltzmann population distributions that strengthened with increasing shock speed and persisted for over 100 µs. The measured vibrational temperatures of CN initially increase in time with the increasing CN mole fraction and eventually exceed the expected post-shock rotational temperature of N2. The results suggest that strong chemical pumping is ultimately responsible for these trends and that, at the conditions studied, CN is primarily formed in high vibrational states within the A2Π or B2Σ+ state at characteristic rates, which are comparable to or exceed those of key vibrational equilibration processes.

Abstract
Pyridine is a basic heterocyclic compound with high toxicity, widely found in liquid waste from industrial processes. The treatment of highly-concentrated pyridine was demonstrated using a novel mist-type water thermal plasma torch. Decomposition rate and TOC removal rate were more than 94% in all conditions, while the max energy efficiency reached about 23 g/kWh. With a high temperature of 5500-7500 K, more than 95% of carbon content in pyridine was converted into valuable gas products, while a little amount of formic acid and acetic acid were observed as liquid by-products. The production of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) during the thermal decomposition of pyridine was observed, which can be inhibited by increasing the input power. Based on the experimental results, detailed decomposition mechanisms in the high-temperature and the downstream region were discussed respectively. Water plasma shows significant potential in the treatment of non-biodegradable industrial liquid waste.

Abstract
We describe the application of frequency modulated spectroscopy (FMS) with an external cavity tuneable diode laser to the study of the scalar and vector properties of inelastic collisions. CN X(2)Sigma(+) radicals are produced by polarized photodissociation of ICN at 266 nm, with a sharp velocity and rotational angular momentum distribution. The collisional evolution of the distribution is observed via sub-Doppler FMS on the A(2)Pi-X(2)Sigma(+) (2,0) band. He, Ar, N(2), O(2) and CO(2) were studied as collider gases. Doppler profiles were acquired in different experimental geometries of photolysis and probe laser propagation and polarization, and on different spectroscopic branches. These were combined to give composite Doppler profiles from which the speed distributions and specific speed-dependent vector correlations could be determined. The angular scattering dynamics with species other than He are found to be very similar, dominated by backward scattering which accompanies transfer of energy between rotation and translation. The kinematics of collisions with He are not conducive to the determination of differential scattering and angular momentum polarization correlations. Angular momentum correlations show interesting differences between reactive and non-reactive colliders. We propose that this reflects differences in the potential energy surfaces, in particular, the nature and depth of attractive potential wells.

Abstract
We have used oxygen Rydberg time-of-flight spectroscopy to carry out a crossed molecular beam study of the CN + O2 reaction at collision energies of 3.1 and 4.1 kcal/mol. The O(3P2) products were tagged by excitation to high-n Rydberg levels and subsequently field ionized at a detector. The translational energy distributions were broad, indicating that the NCO is formed with a wide range of internal excitation, and the angular distribution was forward-backward symmetric, indicating the participation of NCOO intermediates with lifetimes comparable to or longer than their rotational periods. Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus modeling of the dissociation of NCOO to NCO + O suggests that Do(NC-OO) > or = 38 kcal/mol, which is consistent with several theoretical calculations. Implications for the competing CO + NO channel are discussed.
