General Information

The 10^th International Symposium on Non-Thermal/Thermal Plasma Pollution Control Technology and Sustainable Energy (ISNTP-10) will be held in Florianopolis, Brazil, from the 1^st to 5^th of August 2016.

The ISNTP-10 is sponsored by the International Electrostatic Assembly and is undertaken by the Chemistry Department of the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil. The ISNTP is currently a biannual conference which started in the UK in 1992. Editions were held in Brazil 1997, Korea 2001, USA 2004, France 2006, Taiwan 2008, Canada 2010, France 2012 and China 2014.

Since the first edition, a wide range of environmental applications using non-thermal and thermal plasma technologies was covered: flue gas treatment, water treatment, solid and liquid waste treatments, and more recently fuel reforming and plasma assisted combustion. Emerging topics such as surface bio-decontamination and medical applications appeared in the 2004 edition in USA and Electrostatic appeared in the 2014 edition in China. Besides applications, fundamentals in discharge physics and plasma chemistry are also considered.
