Author response HAZMAT-D-05-00574: Gliding Arc Plasma Processing of CO2 Conversion Submitted to the Journal of Hazardous Materials Reviewer 1 1. Page 7: Authors should be given references at the end of the first paragraph. (.. This phenomenon has been investigated before [R] Answer: Thank you for the suggestion. In the revised manuscript, we put a reference as we have published this work before. The phenomena was clearly described in: A. Indarto, J.W. Choi, H. Lee, H.K. Song, N. Coowanitwong, Discharge characteristic of a gliding-arc plasma in chlorinated methanes diluted in atmospheric air, Plasma Devices Operat. 14 (2006) 15-26. 2. Figure 1 must be given clearly form for the readers. Answer: Again thank you for the suggestion. In the previous manuscript, some parts of the experimental setup were not described yet. So, we put more information in the revised manuscript, for example: the information about water vapor by bubbling method, bubble flow meter, and wet test meter. We hope those information will be clearly enough to describe the global experimental setup that we used during experiments. 3. Figure captions must be given in separate sheets after the reference section. Answer: Thank you. Following the suggestion, we put the figure caption in different sheet after references. 4. Overall, the language of the manuscript seems a little bit problematic. There are some grammatical mistakes. I would recommend the authors have either a native English speaker or a professional English editor checked over the manuscript. Answer: Thank you for the suggestion regarding the English language. We have checked many times for the revised manuscript together with one of American postdoctoral researcher in our laboratory. We hope, in the current form, it will not be a problem anymore. 5. It seems the authors of the manuscript missed some guidelines requested in the ‘Guide for Authors’ section of the journal.

Answer: Thank you for the correction. Some corrections have been made following the guidelines of the journal. Again, we hope in the revised manuscript, all information is enough. We thank to the editor and reviewer for their concern to our manuscript. And still, we are welcomed for every question on this manuscript to make it perfect.
