Pulsed discharge plasma is a recently developed advanced oxidation process for removing hazardous recalcitrant organic pollutants from wastewaters. Its promising feature lies in its multiple oxidative effects, including high energy electrons, hydroxyl radicals, UV, ozone, etc. It can degrade almost all sorts of organic compounds without selectivity and has the advantage of high efficiency, good fidelity. The fission of chemical bonds could be efficiently realized by the discharge in room temperature without...
