    摘要: The present disclosure relates to improvements in the field of water treatment, and more particularly to the separation step in a water treatment process. There is provided a method of separating contaminants from contaminated water. A fibrous treatment agent is provided into the contaminated water. The fibrous treatment agent has a length of about 100 pm and a diameter of at least 5 pm. The fibrous treatment agent is allowed to associate with the contaminants forming floes comprising a size of at least 1000 pm. The floes are physically separated from the contaminated water.

    摘要: A plasma source comprising a first hollow electrode and a second hollow electrode separated by a gap and a dielectric barrier of a constant width; wherein the plasma source is configured to selectively produce a plasma in either one of a first configuration and a second configuration; wherein, i) in the first configuration, a plasma-forming gas flows in the gap while a non plasma-forming gas flows within the first hollow electrode; and ii) in the second configuration, a plasma-forming gas flows within the first hollow electrode and a non plasma-forming gas flows within the gap. The method comprises selecting at least two gases of different breakdown voltages, injecting a first gas in a first electrode separated from a second hollow electrode by a gas gap of a constant width, injecting a second gas in the gas gap under an applied power.
