    Recently, the research group of researcher Huang Qing of Hefei Institute of Physical Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and enterprises have found that the use of low-temperature plasma technology can efficiently and quickly degrade antibiotic residues
    such as norfloxacin, oxytetracycline, and tetracycline in medical wastewater.
    The international academic journal in the field of environment "Photosphere" has recently published the results
    .

    Studies have shown that the ozone produced by plasma can quickly degrade norfloxacin, and the oxidative degradation of norfloxacin by ozone is mainly reflected in the defluorination reaction and the breakage
    of carboxyl and quinolone groups.
    Ozone produced by low-temperature plasma is economical, practical, simple and easy, green and environmentally friendly, no secondary pollution, and high practicability, which is of great significance
    for the development of high-efficiency wastewater treatment technology and the promotion of plasma medical wastewater treatment technology.
    The research has expanded the application of low-temperature plasma technology in the field of environmental protection, and related technologies and equipment are also in the stage
    of market promotion.
