Use of plasma for degradation of ibuprofen in water
Bača, Ondřej ; Landová, Pavlína (referee) ; Mravcová, Ludmila (advisor)
This Bachelor’s thesis deals with the current problem of increasing concentrations of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in water. The concentration increase of these drugs is due to rised anti-inflammatory drugs intake in modern era. Wastewater treatment plants are not capable of sufficient elimination of these drugs in wastewater. That leads to contamination of groundwater and surface water. The long-term impacts of these drugs on human health is not fully understood, so it is necessary to develop new methods, which will lead to complete degradation of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and other pollutants. Theoretical part of the Bachelor’s thesis focuses on description and properties of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and their consumption in the Czech Republic. Furthermore, the paper deals with advanced oxidation processes especially with plasma. This part of the paper also deals with determination of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in water. For degradation of ibuprofen was used plasma. During the plasma treatment, samples were taken in regular time intervals, which were afterwards determined by an appropriate analytical method LC-ESI-MS. The results were compared with scientific studies dealing with this topic.
