Description

Fatemeh Amani and colleagues combined ozone with cold plasma to treat real industrial wastewater in a 2026 study. Factories release stubborn pollutants that normal treatment cannot remove. Both ozone and non-thermal plasma create reactive oxidants that can break such compounds down.

Wastewater from the Kaveh industrial zone was aerated and filtered first, then ozonated at its best found setting, then exposed to plasma from a dielectric barrier discharge for varying times. Thirty minutes of plasma gave the best overall cleanup. At that point, biological oxygen demand fell by well over half and chemical oxygen demand by about half. The authors credit highly reactive oxidants formed by the pair. They present the combined method as a flexible and greener option for hard wastewater.
