Abatement of mixture of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in a catalytic non-thermal plasma reactor

Potential of non-thermal plasmas for helping the biodegradation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by waste management plants

“…As expected, low values of S CO2 are achieved at low energies, due to the presence of intermediate byproducts (Subrahmanyam et al, 2010;Karuppiah et al, 2012) and to the formation of CO. The latter is generated in the presence of a low relative concentration of oxygen with respect to the initial VOC concentration (Byeon et al, 2010).…”

Catalytic behavior and synergistic effect of nonthermal plasma and CuO/AC catalyst for benzene destruction

“…The performance of a catalyst needs to be evaluated not only by the pollutant degradation rate, but also the by-products yield in the process. NO x as one of the primary discharge by-products was detected in previous work (Karuppiaha et al 2012). The production of N and O, the main precursor of NO x , is related to the dissociation of air.…”

Toluene decomposition performance and NOx by-product formation during a DBD-catalyst process

“…Notable improvements in inhibition of their formation can be achieved through the plasma-catalysis process, which introduces a catalyst into the discharge zone. Metal oxides have been widely used as active components in the removal of organic compounds (Das and Parida, 2007;Guo et al, 2007;Sano et al, 2006;Karuppiah et al, 2012;Lahousse et al, 1998).…”
