FROM FLUSH TO FRESH? - REDUCING PHARMACEUTICALS BY CAVIPLASMA
Original language description
Pharmaceutical contaminants from human and veterinary applications, along with improper disposal practices, have become pervasive pollutants in aquatic ecosystems. These substances often evade conventional wastewater treatment systems, resulting in ecological disruption and potential risks to human health. Non-thermal plasma (NTP) has emerged as a promising advanced oxidation process, integrating mechanisms such as ozonation, UV photolysis, and pyrolysis to degrade resistant contaminants. Recent research highlights that the combination of NTP with hydrodynamic cavitation (CaviPlasma) significantly enhances degradation efficiency by improving mass transfer and generating additional reactive species. We applied this technique to degrade selected pharmaceutical compounds that are known to persist in aquatic environments and resist conventional wastewater treatment.
