Study of VOC removal and E. Coli sterilization in six-mat space by atmospheric microplasma

Development of a Photocatalytic Filter to Control Indoor Air Quality

“…A low pressure drop filter was developed and characterized in this work. Due to its photocatalytic behavior (3–4–5–6), such a photocatalytic filter was able to break down solid particles, oxidize VOCs and kill the bacteria that were mechanically blocked onto its surface.…”

“…IAQ control has thus become increasingly important in relation to complex forms of pollutants, in particular microbials (4), VOCs (5) and total solid particulates (TSPs) (3), because over the last 2 decades, there have been an increasing number of instances where the occupants of buildings have complained of a general feeling of being unwell or of experiencing acute ill health and discomforting effects that appear to be linked to time spent in a building. This phenomenon is called sick building syndrome (SBS).…”

Applications of Dielectric Barrier Discharge Microplasma

“…Various active species, ozone (O 3 ), and ultraviolet light (UV) are generated by plasma discharge in air at atmospheric pressure [8,9]; thus chemical substances can be decomposed or bacteria sterilized [10,11]. One of the substances that are studied to be decomposed by microplasma is hexadecane (C 16 H 34 ) [32][33][34]. Hexadecane is a semivolatile organic compound (SVOC), and because it is present in diesel oil, it enters inside buildings from outside.…”
