Water-soluble nitrogen compounds such as nitrites and nitrates are frequently found in water bodies due to the use of fertilizers and the breakdown of protein compounds. Long-term consumption of water containing them can lead to cancer and respiratory problems.
Scientists have developed a microwave plasma torch that creates low-temperature plasma that “neutralizes” harmful nitrogen compounds. Cleaning time is only five minutes. In the future, it is planned to use this technology to purify wastewater from industrial enterprises and municipal systems. The efficiency of the technology reached 99.83 percent under laboratory conditions.
