In this work, the treatment of TC in aqueous solutions with nonthermal plasma gliding arc process was investigated. The degradation efficiency of TC was studied along with the effect of initial concentration, working gas, pH, and the presence of a radical scavenger. The generation of reactive oxidative species was characterized by the quantification of radical hydroxyl, hydrogen peroxide, ozone, nitrite, and nitrate. Mineralization efficiency was examined by assessment of Total organic carbon evolution. Experimental results have shown that the gliding arc plasma is effective for the treatment of TC. At an initial concentration of 5 mg\/L: degradation rates of 94.95% and 60.45% were achieved, while mineralization rates were 81.3% and 57.34% under O2 and air plasma, respectively. O2 plasma exhibited an immense potential for the generation of reactive oxygen species. Meanwhile, air plasma showed better degradation performance in the presence of a radical scavenger. Moreover, degradation products were identified by mass spectroscopy analysis and degradation pathway was proposed. The gliding arc process proposed in this work is promising for the removal of TC antibiotics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2166\/wst.2022.339","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,26]],"date-time":"2022-10-26T23:38:34Z","timestamp":1666827514000},"page":"2794-2807","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2166\/iwapcrossmarkpolicypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Tetracycline degradation by nonthermal plasma: removal efficiency, degradation pathway, and toxicity evaluation"],"prefix":"10.2166","volume":"86","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7479-3846","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amina","family":"Ouzar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Division of Earth Environmental System Science (Major of Environmental Engineering), Pukyong National University, Busan, South Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Il-Kyu","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Division of Earth Environmental System Science (Major of Environmental Engineering), Pukyong National University, Busan, South Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"945","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,26]]},"reference":[{"issue":"11","key":"2022122302445331200_WST-D-22-00595C1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1043","DOI":"10.1016\/j.trac.2007.09.004","article-title":"Determination of pKa values of active pharmaceutical ingredients","volume":"26","year":"2007","journal-title":"TrAC - Trends in Analytical Chemistry"},{"issue":"3","key":"2022122302445331200_WST-D-22-00595C3","first-page":"586","article-title":"Occurrence, distribution and bioaccumulation of antibiotics in the Liao River Basin in China","volume":"16","year":"2014","journal-title":"Environmental Sciences: Processes and Impacts"},{"issue":"16","key":"2022122302445331200_WST-D-22-00595C4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5761","DOI":"10.1021\/ie701759y","article-title":"Chemical Reactivity of Discharges and Temporal Post-Discharges in Plasma Treatment of Aqueous Media: Examples of Gliding Discharge Treated Solutions","volume":"47","year":"2008","journal-title":"Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research"},{"issue":"1","key":"2022122302445331200_WST-D-22-00595C5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"35","DOI":"10.1016\/j.elstat.2004.12.007","article-title":"Formation of reactive species in gliding arc discharges with liquid water","volume":"64","year":"2006","journal-title":"Journal of Electrostatics"},{"issue":"10","key":"2022122302445331200_WST-D-22-00595C6","article-title":"Review on reactive species in water treatment using electrical discharge plasma: Formation, measurement, mechanisms and mass transfer","volume":"20","year":"2018","journal-title":"Plasma Science and Technology, IOP Publishing"},{"key":"2022122302445331200_WST-D-22-00595C7","first-page":"15","article-title":"Aqueous tetracycline degradation by H2O2 alone: Removal and transformation pathway","volume":"307","year":"2017","journal-title":"Chemical Engineering Journal, Elsevier B.V."},{"issue":"6","key":"2022122302445331200_WST-D-22-00595C8","first-page":"1301","article-title":"Gliding arc","volume":"66","year":"1994","journal-title":"Applications to engineering and environment control.
