  • Systems and methods for treating fluid media using nonthermal plasmas
    Publication number: 20120234769
    Abstract: Nonthermal plasma gas injection is applied in conjunction with other treatment means such as a precipitant, to effect chemical treatment of a liquid medium. The combined treatment performs one or more of chemically modifying a component of the medium, activating or enhancing the performance of a treatment material for the medium, and removing one or more chemical component from the medium. The nonthermal plasma can be applied directly in a liquid medium, in an aerosol of the medium, or to a treatment material in contact with or cycled into and out of the medium. Applications include removing contaminants including arsenic from drinking water.
