The increasing prevalence of industrial pollutants, particularly synthetic dyes, in water bodies has necessitated the development of efficient and sustainable treatment methods. This review comprehensively examines the use of gliding arc plasma technology, coupled with various catalysts, for the degradation of persistent organic pollutants such as azo dyes, acid dyes, and other synthetic colorants. The synergistic effects of combining plasma with different catalysts are analyzed, highlighting their impact on degradation efficiency and reaction kinetics. Key findings from recent studies are summarized, focusing on the degradation rates, catalyst performance, and experimental conditions. The review also discusses the underlying mechanisms of plasma-catalyst interactions, offering insights into the role of different catalysts in enhancing pollutant breakdown. Furthermore, the article identifies current challenges and proposes future research directions to optimize gliding arc plasma technology for large-scale environmental applications. This work underscores the potential of plasma-assisted catalysis as a promising approach for water treatment, contributing to the advancement of sustainable and effective remediation technologies.
