Dielectric barrier discharge induced the degradation of the emerging contaminant ibuprofen in aqueous solutions

Application of non-thermal plasma reactor and Fenton reaction for degradation of ibuprofen

“…NTP effectiveness in pollution removal processes in liquids was demonstrated (Kuraica et al, 2004;Manojlović et al, 2006Manojlović et al, , 2008Dojčinović et al, 2008Dojčinović et al, , 2011. Authors Zheng et al (2013) applied plasma treatment for ibuprofen removal from aqueous solution and reported degradation efficiency of 95.6% but they did not include toxicity studies.…”
