Decomposition of Toluene by Atmospheric Pressure Microwave Plasma Generated Using Metal Salt-impregnated Carbon Felt Pieces

摘要

Atmospheric pressure microwave plasma(APMP)could be easily generated even in air by using carbon felt pieces impreg nated with a metal salt such as alkali metal chlorides,alkali earth metal chlorides,and so on(CF/metal salt).As one of applica tions,the decomposition and complete removal of toluene,one of volatile organic compounds(VOCs)as environmental air pollutants,with APMP assisted by CF/NaCl and CF/CaCl2 was examined.Consequently,we succeeded in decomposing and removing it completely without carbon monoxide formation and CF consumption.
