Plasma Remediation Technology for Environmental Protection [Hardcover]

This book introduces a new technology for environmental protection, namely plasma cleaning. It brings together technological advances and research on plasma generators and their application in environmental science and engineering, including contaminated soil remediation, waste water degradation, metal recovery from waste solution, sterilization and polluted air remediation. It provides a balanced and comprehensive discussion of the core principles, novel plasma reactors and diagnostics, and state-of-the-art environmental applications of plasma. As such, it represents a valuable reference guide for scientists, engineers and graduate students in the fields of environmental science and plasma physics.

Environmental Application of Plasma Technique.- Remediation of Phenanthrene Contaminated Soil using Plasma Fluidized Bed.- Degradation and discoloration of Dyes Solution using Plasma in Combination with Advanced Fenton Catalysis.- Reduction of Cr(VI) in Aqueous Solution with Microplasma.- Surface Sterilization by Atmospheric Pressure NonThermal Plasma.- Removal of Volatile Organic Compounds using Plasma.
