The decomposition of benzene was carried out using two types of plasma reactors packed with BaTiO 3 pellets: one had two electrodes made of stainless steel (SUS-reactor) and the other had glass layer between two concentric electrodes (GL-reactor). It was found that the decomposition efficiency and the suppression of N 2 O and NOx formations in the GL-reactor were greater than those in the SUS-reactor. On the contrary, the suppression of O 3 formation and the oxidation to COx in the SUS-reactor were superior to those in the GL-reactor. Furthermore, the effect of operating conditions, i.e., waveform and frequency of applied ac power, was also investigated using both the reactors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
