Chlorobenzene Removal Using DBD Coupled with CuO/γ-Al2O3 Catalyst

The removal of chlorobenzene using a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor coupled with CuO/γ-Al2O3 catalysts was investigated in this paper. coupling CuO enhanced the degradation and complete oxidation ability DBD reactor, especially under low voltage conditions. characterization catalyst carried out to understand interaction between plasma discharge. effects flow rate power on these parameters were analyzed response surface model (RSM). analysis variance applied evaluate significance independent variables their interactions. results show that interactions are not negligible for chlorobenzene. Moreover, based byproducts, 4-chlorophenol discriminated as important intermediate degradation, speculative decomposition mechanism is explored.
