“…In the field of air pollution control, the NTP tech nology h as been tested for the abatement of var ious types of hazardous air pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (Ogata et al, 1999;Urashima and Chang, 2000;Futamura et al, 2004;Magureanu et al, 2007;Subrahmanyam et al, 2007), SO 2 (Mizuno, et al,1986;Changet al,1991), NOx (Ohkubo et al,1994;Tonkyn et al,2003;Young et al, 2004), CFCs (Li and Ma, 2000;Gal et al, 2003;Park et al, 2003;Ricketts et al, 2004) odors (Masuda et al, 1993;Mizuno et al,1993;Chang and Tseng, 1996;Zhu et al, 2007), mercury (Masuda,1988), etc. In order to further improve the energy efficiency of the VOCs removal decomposition process by the plasma, the cooperation with catalyst has been tested by some researchers (Einaga et al, 2001;Guo et al, 2006;Kim, 2006;Kim et al, 2008). These studies showed that the combination of discharge plasma with catalyst is a very effective method in VOCs removal.…”
