Potential of pulsed corona discharges generated in water for the degradation of persistent pharmaceutical residues

Original language description

Anthropogenic pollutants and in particular pharmaceutical residues are a potential risk for potable water where they are found in increasing concentrations. Different environmental effects could already be linked to the presence of pharmaceuticals in surface waters even for low concentrations. Many pharmaceuticals withstand conventional water treatment technologies. Consequently, there is a need for new water purification techniques. Advanced oxidation processes (AOP), and especially plasmas with theirability to create reactive species directly in water, may offer a promising solution.We developed a plasma reactor with a coaxial geometry to generate large volume corona discharges directly in water and investigated the degradation of seven recalcitrantpharmaceuticals (carbamazepine, diatrizoate, diazepam, diclofenac, ibuprofen, 17a-ethinylestradiol, trimethoprim). For most substances we observed decomposition rates from 45% to 99% for treatment times of 15e66 min.
