| abstract |
A method and apparatus (100, 200, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000) are provided for at least partially sterilizing a liquid that has pathogens living in the liquid. The liquid comprising living pathogens is placed in a reaction volume (106, 506, 1026), and a non-thermal plasma is generated within the reaction volume (106, 506, 1026) to thereby kill at least a portion of the pathogens within the liquid. |
