Water Decontamination: Revolutionizing with Plasma

Revolutionary Plasma Reactor Developed by UCO Research Groups for Water Decontamination

Two research groups at the University of Cordoba (UCO) have designed a groundbreaking plasma reactor that can effectively decontaminate water with high concentrations of dye. The reactor, maintained by microwaves, generates a plasma—a state of matter that permeates everything and contains ions, atoms, electrons, and photons—to promote chemical processes and eliminate contaminants in water. This development marks a significant breakthrough in the field of water treatment, offering new possibilities for addressing the growing presence of organic pollutants in aquatic ecosystems.
