Decomposition of Volatile Organic Compounds by a Packed-Bed Reactor and a Pulsed-Corona Plasma Reactor

摘要: As the result of Clean Air Act Amendments 1990, emissions volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into air became an increasing environmental concern. The understanding and subsequent development technologies for controlling these streams has been mandated. conventional VOC control are carbon adsorption, catalytic oxidation, thermal incineration. These widely accepted well understood. However, with respect to some parameters, such as concentration treated, cost, energy requirements, have practical limitations. For reasons, alternating current (ac) energized ferroelectric packed-bed reactor a nanosecond pulsed-corona investigated alternative technical approaches pollutants at parts per million (ppm) levels.
