| Description | CaviPlasma combines hydro-mechanical effects, i.e., mechanical stress and efficient mixing of agents generated using an electric discharge in the reduced-pressure environment of void of cavitation cloud, with electro-mechanical stress and UV radiation. This results in very promising biocidal and decontamination effects on plasma-treated contaminated water. Representative examples of the results are focused on the removal of toxic cyanobacteria from water achieving a complete inactivation even after a single passage, or the remediation of wastewater sampled at municipal treatment plant from the residual contamination of pharmaceuticals, hormones and their metabolites (> 90% reduction). |
