Integrated air stripping and non-thermal plasma system for the treatment of volatile organic compounds from wastewater: statistical optimization

This study examined the treatment of toluene and m-xylene from wastewater using integrated air stripping and non-thermal plasma (NTP) reactor system. Toluene and m-xylene concentrations, before and after plasma treatment, were determined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The performance...
