A theoretical study on decomposition of carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethylene and ethyl chloride in dry air under the influence of an electron beam

Organic Pollutants Treatment from Air Using Electron Beam Generated Nonthermal Plasma – Overview

“…8. General mechanism of organic pollutants decomposition under EB irradiation 5.1 Chlorinated organic compounds (Cl-HC) 5.1.1 General mechanism of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon decomposition in air mixture Computer simulations of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocabons'decomposition in air mixture were carried out and discussed in details (Nichipor et al, 2000(Nichipor et al, , 2002(Nichipor et al, , 2003(Nichipor et al, , 2008Sun et al, 2001Sun et al, , 2007bSun et al, , 2009b . The general mechanism of aliphatic hydrocarbon decomposition in an air mixture is described below: When fast electrons from electron beams are absorbed in the carrier gas, they cause ionization and excitation processes of the nitrogen, H 2 O and oxygen molecules in the carrier gas.…”

Decomposition of greenhouse gases by plasma

“…Kinetic model of chlorinated methane compound decomposition in dry air (mostly, VOCs were presented together with atmospheric air) under plasma conditions has been investigated also (Indarto et al 2005a;2006a;2007b;Penetrante et al 1995;Koch et al 1995;Nichipor et al 2000). The theoretical model suggested that the main product could be Cl 2 , COCl 2 , CO, CO 2 , ClNO 3 and ClO 3 .…”

“…Moreover, radical ClO and CCl 3 were detected as the most important intermediate species in the formation of products and the O and Cl atoms has mostly responsible on the radical reactions both during initiation and termination reaction. CO, Cl 2 and CO 2 could be formed by dissociative process of COCl 2 (phosgene) by electron according to (Lee et al 1996;Nichipor et al 2000):…”

“…More detailed mechanism for specific VOC molecules, e.g., chloroform (CHCl 3 ), carbon tetrachloride (Indarto et al 2005a(Indarto et al , 2006b(Indarto et al , 2007bPenetrante et al 1995;Koch et al 1995;Nichipor et al 2000), and dichloro methane (Indarto et al 2006d), can be found in the references.…”

Conversion of tetrachloromethane in large scale gliding discharge reactor

“…CCl 4 + Cl → CCl 3 + Cl 2 (4) In the presence of oxygen, CCl 4 and CCl 3 radicals may react in different ways [12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”
