- Additional information
- This work represents significant improvement on literature concerning plasma-based water treatment, with equivalent levels of treatment achieved with residence times on the order of seconds, an improvement of several orders of magnitude. This opens up the opportunity in to develop plasma-based water treatment for low level pollutants that cannot be treated by conventional technologies. This publication represents one of the first combinations of microfluidic devices with plasma liquid systems. In addition, it is the first to apply and test such devices with respect to water treatment. As such it is internationally leading, representing a point of reference in the field.
