| Abstract Scope |
The integration of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) with membrane separation has emerged as a promising strategy for improving the removal of persistent organic contaminants while mitigating membrane fouling. Although hybrid ultraviolet/hydrogen peroxide (UV/H₂O₂)–membrane systems have demonstrated significant improvements in contaminant degradation and membrane performance, the incorporation of non-thermal plasma offers the potential to generate multiple reactive oxygen and nitrogen species without continuous chemical addition. However, the lack of modular reactor platforms capable of integrating plasma discharge with membrane filtration limits systematic investigation and optimization of hybrid treatment processes.
This work presents the design and development of a laboratory-scale hybrid reactor that combines dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) non-thermal plasma with ultrafiltration membrane technology in a single integrated treatment platform. The reactor incorporates adjustable stainless-steel and copper electrodes, variable electrode spacing, controlled gas injection, transparent reaction chambers, liquid recirculation, and interchangeable membrane modules. |
