We would like to inform you about the progress made in the realisation of the Sonata 15 project (2019/35/D/ST8/04107), which was granted by the National Science Center to Wroclaw University of Science and Technology (Leader) in a consortium with University of Gdańsk.
The head of the project from the Leader side is Dr. hab. Anna Patrycja Dzimitrowicz from Wrocław University of Science and Technology, and from the partner part, Dr. Eng. Wojciech Śledź. Our fruitful cooperation has resulted in dissemination of the research results in the form of numerous conference reports and so far two scientific publications:

→ Dzimitrowicz, Anna, Agata Motyka-Pomagruk, Piotr Cyganowski, Piotr Jamroz, Dominik Terefinko, Pawel Pohl, Tymoteusz Klis, and Magda Caban. “Cold atmospheric pressure plasmas as versatile tools for effective degradation of a mixture of hazardous and endocrine disturbing compounds from liquid wastes.” Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering 9, no. 6 (2021): 106718.
→ Dzimitrowicz, Anna, Magda Caban, Dominik Terefinko, Pawel Pohl, Piotr Jamroz, Weronika Babinska, Piotr Cyganowski et al. “Application of pulse-modulated radio-frequency atmospheric pressure glow discharge for degradation of doxycycline from a flowing liquid solution.” Scientific reports 12, no. 1 (2022): 1-16.
In the course of the project, we also prepared 5 patent applications, including 1 international in the PCT procedure:
→ „Method of degrading antibiotics from aqueous solutions by using cold atmospheric pressure plasma generated in a flowing plasma brush and a plasma brush intended for this method.” International patent application in PCT mode PCT/PL2022/050027 from 2022-05-06. Authors: Anna Dzimitrowicz, Agata Motyka-Pomagruk, Magda Caban, Weronika Babińska, Dominik Terefinko, Wojciech Śledź, Piotr Jamróz, Piotr Cyganowski, Ewa Łojkowska, Piotr Stepnowski, Paweł Pohl (Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, University of Gdańsk).
→ ,,Sposób eradykacji drobnoustrojów chorobotwórczych z powierzchni płaskich lub tkanki skórnej oraz układ do realizacji tego sposobu” Patent application no. P.441356 from 2022-06-02.

→ „Sposób rozkładu antybiotyków z roztworów wodnych z zastosowaniem zimnej plazmy atmosferycznej, generowanej w przepływowej szczotce plazmowej oraz szczotka plazmowa do realizacji tego sposobu” patent application no. P.440185 from 2022-01-20. Authors: Anna Dzimitrowicz, Agata Motyka-Pomagruk, Magda Caban, Weronika Babińska, Dominik Terefinko, Wojciech Śledź, Piotr Jamróz, Piotr Cyganowski, Ewa Łojkowska, Piotr Stepnowski, Paweł Pohl (Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, University of Gdańsk).
It is worth noting that the idea of degradation of antibiotics with the use of cold atmospheric plasmas developed in the Sonata 15 project won the Main Prize in the Eureka! DGP competition (2022)
