Oxidation of Aqueous Naproxen Using Gas-Phase Pulsed Corona Discharge: Impact of Operation Parameters
2022

Naproxen is a widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug poorly metabolized in the human body, thus resulting in its presence in domestic wastewaters. It is resistant to conventional wastewater treatment, making new methods necessary. Pulsed corona discharge, an energy-efficient advanced oxidation process, was experimentally studied for the oxidation of naproxen in various operation conditions, showing high energy efficiencies in a wide span of pH levels, concentrations, and pulse repetition frequencies. Surfactants present in treated solutions appeared to enhance the degradation rate. The research results contribute to the knowledge of the method&rsquo:s chemistry and technology, supporting its full-scale implementation.
