Özet

This study explores atmospheric plasma as a novel approach for the degradation of persistent per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in contaminated waters. Using response surface methodology and Box–Behnken design, the performance of the self-pulsing discharge (SPD) reactor was optimized by adjusting the following independent factors: input power, plasma area-to-liquid volume ratio, and argon bubbling time. Optimization was assessed using four specific indicators: k_PFOA and G₅₀, for the process velocity and energy efficiency, respectively; k_PFOA/k_PFHpA and ΣPFAS/C₀, both for the presence of PFAS in the treated water for the process products. Under the optimized operating conditions, residual PFAS summed up to only 2.4% of the carbon initially present as PFOA, and a remarkable G₅₀ value of (523 ± 10) mg/kWh was obtained.
