Abstract :

Non thermal plasmas offer a unique way to initiate chemical reactions in the gas phase which have potential for practical utilization in environmental applications. Since plasma-chemical processes are rather nonselective, combination with catalysis can provide improved CO2 selectivity and eliminates undesirable byproducts during VOCs removal. Catalyst activation by plasma is different from that in case of conventional heating, and therefore the knowledge of plasma-catalyst interaction represents a key issue both from the fundamental point of view, for the understanding of reaction mechanisms involved in the plasma-catalytic process, and obviously, from the point of view of applications. In an industrial environment, the characteristics of waste gases can vary during time due to changes in the plasma catalytic process. Therefore, it is important to know how these changes influence the removal of toluene. The key parameters such as the humidly of the air, the temperature, the gas flow rate, energy efficiency and catalysts position will be studied to provide guidelines for engineers.
