Degradation of cyclophosphamide using plasma activated water and UV/H2O2 for the abatement of persistent pharmaceuticals in wastewater

With the increase of unwanted pollutants in the environment, this study focuses on the abatement and release of pharmaceuticals in the wastewater stream by using the new plasma-activated-water (PAW) technology. PAW is a promising technique for the pre-treatment of contaminated waters, electric gas discharges in air over water produce reactive oxygen and nitrogen species with oxidative degradation power
