Hazardous nitrosamines formed in drinking water disinfection present serious public health and environmental concerns. Pulsed corona discharge (PCD) known for its unequaled energy efficiency in aqueous pollutants oxidation was experimentally compared with ozonation in degradation of N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA). Both methods were combined with H₂O₂ for advancement testing. In neutral media, PCD surpassed conventional ozonation for about twenty-nine times in energy efficiency; ozonation efficiency was substantially improved with H₂O₂ addition, whereas PCD did not benefit from it still surpassing O₃/H₂O₂ combination for about 20% at pH 7.0. The Fenton-mediated oxidation was noticed in PCD accelerating oxidation of NDEA. The increase of pH to 12.0 predictably accelerated ozonation whereas PCD demonstrated the opposite outcome resulting in higher oxidation efficiency at pH 3.0.

饮用水消毒中形成的有害亚硝胺引起了严重的公共卫生和环境问题。以脉冲电晕放电（PCD）以其在水污染物中氧化的无与伦比的能效而闻名，通过实验将其与臭氧化降解N-亚硝基二乙胺（NDEA）进行了比较。两种方法都与H ₂ O _2结合用于进阶测试。在中性介质中，PCD的能效超过传统的臭氧氧化约29倍。添加H ₂ O _2可以显着提高臭氧氧化效率，而PCD仍不能超过O ₃ / H ₂ O ₂而不能从中受益在pH 7.0下约20％。Fenton介导的氧化在PCD加速NDEA的氧化中被注意到。pH值增加到12.0可以预期加速臭氧化，而PCD显示相反的结果，导致在pH 3.0时更高的氧化效率。
