[nskoro at ipb.ac.rs]

Dear Colleagues,

You are cordially invited to the seminar organized by Center of 
Excellence for Non-Equilibrium Processes (CNP), which will be held on 
Tuesday, June 9th, 2026 at 11:00h in the library room ‘Dr. Dragan 
Popović’ at the Institute of Physics Belgrade.

The talk entitled

Treatment of Micropollutants Using Hydrodynamic Cavitation and Cold 
Atmospheric Plasma

will be given by dr. Amit Kumar, postdoctoral researcher at 
Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Dresden, Germany.
Dr. Amit Kumar finished his PhD at the CNP-Institute of Physics Belgrade 
within MSCA ITN Double Doctorate NOWELTIES 812880.

Abstract
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are highly persistent 
contaminants that pose significant environmental and public health 
challenges. Conventional treatment technologies primarily rely on 
adsorption or membrane separation processes, which remove PFAS from 
water but generate concentrated waste streams that require further 
treatment or disposal. This seminar will present ongoing research on 
PFAS degradation at the Clean Water Technology Lab (CLEWATEC), Helmholtz 
Innovation Lab, Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), Germany. 
The presentation will focus on the HyKaPro and Plasma4PFAS projects, 
funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) 
and the Saxon Ministry of Economic Affairs. These projects investigate 
hydrodynamic cavitation and cold plasma-based technologies for the 
degradation and defluorination of PFAS in water. Recent advances in 
reactor development, process performance, and applications for 
industrial wastewater treatment will be discussed.
