What is Application of Plasma-Assisted Advanced Oxidation Processes for Removal of Emerging Contaminants in Water about?

The increasing occurrence of contaminants such as pharmaceutically active compounds, endocrine-disrupting compounds, nanomaterials, surfactants, personal care products is an emerging concern in the water sector. Some of these emerging contaminants are toxic to all life forms, are bio-resistant, and can sustain after primary and secondary wastewater treatment. Conventional water treatment processes are also ineffective in removing these compounds. Advanced oxidation is a potential technique and can degrade and mineralize complex organic molecules. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) rely on the in-situ generation of reactive chemical species (RCS) such as hydroxyl radicals for degradation. Most of the RCS with higher oxidizing potential is short-lived, and hence the effective production of these compounds is crucial for this technology's success. The plasma-mediated AOP is an emerging technology superior to other conventional AOPs due to its ability to generate RCS at a controlled rate without using chemical agents. Moreover, the nonthermal plasma can also produce the RCS at controlled temperature and ambient pressure and, therefore, very suitable for commercial-scale processing. Th
