Abstract

Water purification via plasma is considered a healthy, effective alternative to traditional water purification systems due to the lack of harmful chemical additives that traditional purification systems use. A reactor capable of eliminating bacteria colonies from contaminated water using plasma discharge was designed and tested. Materials and reactor parameters are discussed in this paper. It was confirmed that glow discharge plasma in water creates oxidants, eliminating bacteria colonies.
