Evaluation of the potential of soil remediation by direct multi-channel pulsed corona discharge in soil

Evaluation of the potential of p-nitrophenol degradation in dredged sediment by pulsed discharge plasma

“…These results suggested that OH radical played an important role in PNP degradation in sediment. Similar phenomenon was also found in our previous research, where the addition of n-butanol into polluted soil scavenged OH radical generated by multi-channel pulse discharge plasma, and then inhibited PNP degradation in soil (Wang et al, 2014).…”

Cold Physical Plasmas in the Field of Hygiene—Relevance, Significance, and Future Applications

“…Plasma treatment was also effective in soil decontamination. Plasma eliminated hazardous compounds, such as pathogenic bacteria and toxic substances, to improve soil bioremediation processes, and to recover soil properties or fertility . In agriculture, plasma was used for the treatment of seeds to achieve an inactivation of fungal pathogens and to increase the germination rate or growth of seedlings .…”

Dielectric barrier discharge plasma used as a means for the remediation of soils contaminated by non-aqueous phase liquids

“…In these few studies, emphasis was placed on the removal of solid pollutants from soils by corona [28][29][30][31] or dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) [32,33], while only a little attention has been paid on the NAPL removal [34,35].…”
