Abstract

In this study we investigate the degradation of telmisartan (Telma-H) in simulated aqueous solution using non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ). Aqueous solution containing Telma-H was treated with APPJ as a function of applied potential and reaction time. The degradation of Telma-H was investigated by means of UV-Visible spectroscopy. Optical emission spectra (OES) of the plasma jet was used to identify the reactive species that contributed to degrade Telma H compounds. The variation of pH and conductivity of the plasma treated Telma H aqueous solution was also measured.
