Decomposition of fluorocarbons and medical compounds in water by means of open plasma processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present results on the removal of several critical contaminations from water by plasma processes. Several different plasmas were applied, differing e.g. in the gas composition, in order to identify the most promising routes for specific contaminations.

Removal of fluorocarbon contaminations from water
Fluorocarbon contaminates such as perfluorooctane acid or perfluorooctane sulfonate can be found in waste water from several industrial branches, mostly related to the textile industry. The problem arises from textile finishing for oleophobic and hydrophobic properties where fluorocarbons are still without equivalent alternative. Fluorocarbons can be either release during the finishing process ...
متن کاملPerchloroethylene Analysis by Chemical Oxidation and Determination of Intermediate Products by Gas Chromatography, Mass Spectrometry
Abstract Background and Objective: Perchloroethylene (PCE) is a chlorinated hydrocarbon used as a solvent in many industrial processes. In contaminated water and soil a great deal of PCE is found. This study aimed to determine the rate of decomposition of PCE occurred after advanced oxidation. Material and Methods: In this descriptive-analytic study conducted (2011) in public health faculty...
متن کاملAdvanced oxidation processes against alkyl phenols in groundwater samples
Spectrophotometric examinations showed the presence of phenolic compounds in the organic residue collected from four groundwater resources located in vicinity of an oil refinery at the outskirt of Tehran. The average concentration of total phenolic compounds was about 0.38 mg.L-1 in these samples using Folin-Ciocalteu method. GC-Mass analysis disclosed that alkylphenols were the major phenolic ...
متن کاملImproving the efficiency of advanced photocatalytic oxidation process in the presence of sulfite for decomposition of metronidazole from aqueous solutions
Metronidazole antibiotic is belong to the nitroimidazole family. Non degradability, high solubility in water, toxicity, carcinogenicity and mutagenicity are important concerns related to antibiotics. Therefore, the aim of this study is to apply the new advanced oxidation process of UV/zinc oxide/sulfite (UZS) to degrade metronidazole from aqueous solutions. Methods: In this study, the effect o...
متن کاملCell damaging by irradiating non-thermal plasma to the water: Mathematical modeling of chemical processes
Recently non-thermal plasma (NTP) is applied for many therapeutic applications. By NTP irradiating to the tissues or cell-lines, the water molecules (H2O) would be also activated leading to generate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). By irradiating plasma to bio-solution, its main output including vacuum UV to UV causes the photolysis of H2O leading to generat...
