Current technologies for DCF removal from wastewater have presented higher energy consumption and lower cost efficiency, thus efficient removal of DCF without secondary pollution would be required. In this study, removal of DCF by plasma technology was modeled and optimized via the response surface methodology (RSM). The DCF removal rate could reach 66.3 % after a treatment of 60 min when the voltage was 12.7 kV, the discharge gap was 15 mm, and the number of discharge needles was 5.

This study bridges that gap by investigating both local and global gas hold-up under various conditions, utilizing electrical resistance tomography and computational fluid dynamics. Key findings showed that increasing the anchor speed from stationary to 30 rpm significantly enhanced aeration efficiency (gas hold-up per specific power consumption), with improvements of 78 % in UP-CO mode and 25 % in UP-COUNTER mode at <em>N<sub>c</sub></em> = 350 rpm and <em>Q<sub>g</sub></em> = 20 L/min.
