Complete Oxidation of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Using Plasma-Driven Catalysis and Oxygen Plasma
نویسندگان
چکیده
⎯ The decomposition of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) was investigated using a flow-type plasma-driven catalysis (PDC) system and a cycled system. In the flow-type PDC reactor a trade-off relation was observed between the formation of nitrogen oxides and the decomposition of VOCs. Complete decomposition of VOC to CO2 was achieved with the cycled system without forming CO, aerosol, and any nitrogen oxides. The oxygen-partial pressure dependence of different catalysts on the decomposition of benzene and toluene was investigated. The influence of VOC concentration and the temperature of oxygen plasma on the equivalent energy in the cycled system will be also discussed.

Abatement of VOCs with Alternate Adsorption and Plasma-Assisted Regeneration: A Review
Energy consumption is an important concern for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from waste air with non-thermal plasma (NTP). Although the combination of NTP with heterogeneous catalysis has shown to reduce the formation of unwanted by-products and improve the energy efficiency of the process, further optimization of these hybrid systems is still necessary to evolve to a competi...

A dielectric barrier discharge reactor with inner electrode modified with metal oxides of Ti, Mn and Co has been designed and tested for the oxidation of diluted volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of different nature like toluene, isopropanol and trichloroethylene. It has been observed that at a fixed concentration of VOC, total oxidation of isopropanol is achieved at lower specific input energy...

A novel dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor has been designed as catalytic non-thermal plasma (NTP) reactor. It was tested for the abatement of diluted volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of different nature. The novelty of the DBD reactor is that a metallic catalyst made of sintered metal fibers (SMF) also acts as the inner electrode. The SMF electrodes modified with oxides of Ti, Mn and ...

The degradation of air quality by the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air particularly harms human health and our environment. Regulation of outdoor VOC emissions is required to prevent the formation of ground-level ozone, which is principally responsible for photochemical smog. Indoor emissions of VOCs have been the subject of recent consideration for many governments aro...
