The invention concerns a method for deactivating antibiotics in aqueous solutions using direct current atmospheric pressure glow discharge (dc-APGD).
This technology enables efficient degradation of antibiotics such as ampicillin, penicillin G, and chloramphenicol in a continuous, energy-efficient process without the need for plasma-forming gases.
The process eliminates the antibacterial activity of antibiotics, reducing the spread of antibiotic resistance in the environment.
The flow-through system can be integrated with wastewater treatment facilities in medical, pharmaceutical, and agricultural sectors, minimizing operational costs and ecological risks.
Zastosowanie:
- Treatment of medical, pharmaceutical, and agricultural wastewater,
- Deactivation of antibiotics in liquid waste,
- Environmental protection and water management technologies.
