Advanced treatment of membrane concentrate with pulsed corona discharge

Based on a linear regression analysis, molecular weight of the micropollutants, the amount of double bonds in their structure and the hydroxyl radical degradation constant were identified as the determining parameters for the degradation rate of the micropollutant in the PCD oxidation. This lead to a conclusion that presence of hydroxyl radicals was more critical for the degradation of the micropollutants than the presence of ozone under the examined conditions.
