TAKING PLASMA WATER PURIFICATION TECHNOLOGY INTO SPACE
A new method using plasma to purify in-situ water in space from the University of Southampton has received funding from the UK Government.
Thursday, 07 April 2022
In a similar way as Clearwell uses its non-thermal atmospheric plasma (NTP) to purify water from heavy metals, the University of Southampton's project will explore the feasibility of a novel non-thermal plasma water purification method to remove biological and chemical contaminants in water.
The effectiveness of plasma water treatment is determined by its chemical composition and plasma parameters, which are dependent on the method of generating NTP.
The most popular method of NTP generation is based on dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) due to its simplicity and stability.
