Abatement of Toluene by Non-Thermal Plasma Combined with Photocatalyst

Abstract:

The toluene being abatement by non-thermal plasma combined with photocatalyst was studied in the paper. As one of main factors, the influence on toluene abatement efficiency of gas flow rate, initial concentration and electric field intensity was analyzed in the study. Furthermore, the energy efficiency was another important index which had been compared among the different padding including of no padding, γ-Al₂O₃ padding and TiO₂/γ-Al₂O₃ padding. The result of study showed that the technology of non-thermal plasma combined with photocatalyst had better buffer action against increasing of gas flow rate and initial concentration. When the abatement efficiency was more than 52%, the energy efficiency values had the tendency as TiO₂/γ-Al₂O₃ >γ-Al₂O₃ padding > no padding.
