Performance of chlorobenzene removal in a nonthermal plasma catalysis reactor and evaluation of its byproducts

Combination of non‐thermal plasma and biotrickling filter for chlorobenzene removal

“…The REs of chlorobenzene gradually declined, and the ECs approached a constant level when the ILRs exceeded 80 g m −3 h −1 . This result may be due to the inhibitory effects of chlorobenzene on microorganisms, resulting in the inability of the microbial population to degrade chlorobenzene completely when the concentration was very high . As mentioned in the earlier discussion on the chlorobenzene removal performance of BTFs, ECs decrease with decrease of EBRTs in both systems.…”

“…In contrast, ozone generated by the NTP reactor limits the growth of microorganisms, resulting in runs longer than those for the single‐BTF system. Ozone is also a reason for the lower pressure drop in the coupled system . Moreover, the biomass contents of the packing materials in bottom sections were lower than those in the upper sections in both BTFs.…”

Ethylene epoxidation in a low-temperature parallel plate dielectric barrier discharge system with two frosted glass plates

“…Therefore, a search for a new method with lower energy consumption, a lower reaction temperature and without the use of a catalyst is of great interest. Non-thermal plasma has been reported to be an alternative technique for several reactions including ethylene epoxidation [7,8], natural gas reforming (H 2 production) [9][10][11][12][13], chemical vapor deposition [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21], and desulfurization [22,23].…”

Treatment of 1,2‐dichloroethane and n‐hexane in a combined system of non‐thermal plasma catalysis reactor coupled with a biotrickling filter

“…BTFs are also very large and noncompetitive. To compensate for this limitation, pretreatment technologies have gained popularity among researchers . Ultraviolet (UV) pretreatment has been used in a biofilter for treating chlorobenzene .…”
