Macrokinetic description of the elimination of volatile organic impurities from gases using plasmachemical methods

摘要

We present a mathematical model describing the elimination of volatile organic impurities from gases by plasmachemical methods and formulate criteria for the purification of a medium from an impurity. Comparison of the developed theory to experimental data on the styrene conversion in ionized air shows adequacy of the description. Using the proposed model, it is possible to generalize data obtained for the gas mixtures of various compositions with allowance for the method of activation employed in each particular case. A change in the reaction order with respect to the eliminated component is demonstrated. The obtained relations provide a basis for the development of effective methods of eliminating toxic compounds from waste gases. (C) 2005 Pleiades Publishing, Inc.
