The Bibliometric Analysis and Review of the Application of Plasma in the Field of VOCs

Abstract

The application of plasma in the field of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can be traced back to the 1990s and has gradually developed into an important research field. In this regard, this article primarily sorts and analyzes the literature on the “application of plasma in the field of VOCs” in the Web of Science core collection database from 1992 to 2021 and, subsequently, obtains important data and trends, including the annual number of articles published, country, institution analysis, and journal, as well as discipline analysis, etc. The results show that China is not only in a leading position in the field of research, but also has six top-ten research institutions. This field has more research results in engineering, chemistry, physics, and environmental disciplines. In addition, this article summarizes dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) and titanium-containing catalysts, which represent the discharge characteristics and type of catalyst highlighted through the hot keywords. This review will provide certain guidance for future, related research.

In-situ DRIFTs study for synergistic removal of NOx and o-DCB over hydrotalcite-like structured Cr(x)/LDO catalysts

“…Polychlorinated dibenzo- p -dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), collectively referred to as dioxins, are highly toxic, carcinogenic and environmentally persistent organic pollutants, that are targeted for removal by the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). 1,2 They mainly come from industrial flue gas emissions, such as municipal solid waste incineration, iron ore sintering, the metal smelting and coking industries, etc . 3 In addition, there is a large amount of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and dioxins emitted into the atmosphere at the same time in industrial flue gases.…”

Promotional effect of Sn additive on the chlorine resistance over SnMnOx/LDO catalysts for synergistic removal of NOx and o-DCB

“…Nitrogen oxide (NOx) and chlorinated volatile organic compounds (Cl-VOCs) coexist in many industrial flue gases, including flue gases from municipal solid waste incineration, iron ore sintering, metal smelting and coking industries, etc. 1,2 They are both major precursors of photochemical smog and particulate matters, and Cl-VOCs have strong bioaccumulation potential, acute toxicity and resistance to degradation. 3 Hence, the removal of NOx and Cl-VOCs has attracted great attention.…”

Reactive Adsorption of Gaseous Anisole by MCM–41-Supported Sulfuric Acid

“…Not only are volatile organic compounds (VOCs) considered important precursors of secondary organic aerosols and ground ozone, but some of them also can be toxic and pathogenic [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Aromatics are widely recognized as highly polluting molecules, the emission of which requires additional attention [7][8][9].…”
