Abstract

Cold plasma has emerged as a powerful energy-efficient and environmentally friendly advanced oxidation technique in recent decades as a non-thermal approach in a wide range of applications. It is a form of plasma that is created at low temperatures and can be used for various applications, including water treatment This study aims to determine the influence of Cold plasma treatment on endotoxin reduction in dialysis water. A lab-scale unit was built to implement the experiments and synthetic water (feed solution) was prepared with a known level of endotoxin (0.48 EU/mL). The test for Limulus amebocyte lysate was used to assess concentrations of endotoxin in treated water. The experimental results showed reduce of endotoxins in the cold plasma treatment. This type of treatment reduced the concentration of endotoxin to 0.17 ± 0.09 EU/ml. The results of the study indicated that this could be an innovation in cold plasma jet fields, with numerous applications in dialysis fluid preparation.
