Freshwater scarcity derived from seasonal weather variations, climate change, and over-
development has led to serious consideration for water reuse. Water reuse involves the …

Plasma-based water purification methods offer an alternative means to introduce advanced
oxidation into liquid water. This approach drives a number of advanced oxidation processes …

Atmospheric pressure plasmas have shown great promise for the treatment of wounds and
cancerous tumors. In these applications, the sample is usually covered by a thin layer of a …

The degradation of methylene blue in aqueous solution as a model dye using a non thermal
microwave (2.45 GHz) plasma jet at atmospheric pressure has been investigated. Argon has …

Low temperature plasma treatment of water is being investigated due to its use in pollution
abatement, wound treatment and agriculture. Plasma produced reactive oxygen and …

Anthropogenic pollutants and in particular pharmaceutical residues are a potential risk for
potable water where they are found in increasing concentrations. Different environmental …

Hazardous micropollutants are increasingly detected worldwide in wastewater treatment
plant effluent. As this indicates, their removal is insufficient by means of conventional …

The decomposition of methylene blue (MB) via a novel double-chamber dielectric barrier
discharge (DBD) reactor in different carrier gases (air and oxygen) was investigated. The …

In this paper, we propose a method for removing phenols and p-nitrophenols (PNPs) from
flowing aqueous solutions generated by atmospheric pressure plasma jets (APPJs). For …

Nonthermal atmospheric pressure plasmas transform input electrical energy efficiently into
reactive species, charged particles, and photons. This “activated gas” is being investigated …
