“…Fig. 6 summarizes the energy efficiencies of the removals of toluene, benzene, sulphur compounds, and chloro (fluoro and bromo) carbons using nonthermal plasma discharges with or without catalysts, those data from some other references [15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. In order to give a comparison with UV/TiO 2 benzene decomposition, two data reported by Wang et al [22] are also illustrated in Fig.…”

“…when the operational pressure was15,20,35 and 45 torr, respectively, which shows that the CO 2 decomposition in the plasma reactor favored the lower operational pressures. However, considerations of both the practical application and the undesirability of too low operational pressures on the scale-up made a lower operational pressure in the decomposition uninter-CO 2 esting.…”

Application of radio-frequency (RF) plasma as an alternative technology for the decomposition of carbon dioxide with methane gas is demonstrated. The results of this study revealed that in plasma, the best CO 2 /CH 4 /Ar decomposition fraction of carbon dioxide was 60É0%, which occurs around 316¡C in the condition designed for 5% feeding concentration of 5% CO 2 , feeding concentration of 20 torr operation pressure, 100 sccm total gas CH 4 , Ñow rate and 90 watts input power wattage. The CH, and radicals CH 2 CH 3 obtained from the destruction of could result e †ectively in high decomposi-CH 4 tion of in the plasma reactor. The optimal mathematical models based on CO 2 the experimental data obtained were also developed and tested by means of sensitivity analysis, which shows that the input power wattage (W) was the most sensitive parameter for the decomposition. 1998 Society of Chemical CO 2 ( Industry J.

“…Researchers at the Plasma Fusion Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) 3 have reported tests conducted on CCl 4 concentrations of 10-250 ppm and host gas flow rates of 0.3-0.7 ft 3 /min in a laboratory-scale electron beam reactor with a 150-keV energy beam. The results suggested dissociative electron attachment as the decomposition mechanism.…”

The destruction of parts per million (ppm) levels of volatile organic compounds in a dry air stream by high-energy electron-beam irradiation has been investigated in a pilot plant at the University of Tennessee Space Institute, Tullahoma, Tennessee. In a series of experiments, dry air contaminated with various VOCs in the concentration range of 50-1000 ppm were treated in the UTSI pilot plant to determine the extent of destruction at various electron-beam dose levels. The destruction removal efficiency was determined as a function of the electron beam irradiation dose. The results suggest a charge transfer reaction as the major decomposition mechanism. A theoretical foundation of the process, along with a simple first-generation reaction kinetics model, a summary of the results from the pilot plant flow reactor, and a preliminary cost analysis for a full-scale detoxification plant using currently available electron-beam gum technology are presented in this paper.
