Decomposition of VOCs using mesoporous TiO_2 in a silent plasma

摘要

The decomposition of benzene was carried out using a silent plasma (dielectric barrier discharge: DBD)-catalyst hybrid system. Several types of catalysts such as TiO_2, and V_2O_5/TiO_2 had been selected. It was found that benzene decomposition efficiency decreases in the following order: 1 wt% V_2O_5/TiO_2 catalyst > TiO_2 catalyst > only plasma discharge. In addition, presence of catalysts improved the CO_2 selectivity and suppressed the formation of N_2O.
