Dual Function Sorbent/Catalyst Design for Energy Efficient Chlorinated VOCDestruction

摘要

The paper discusses a dual-function sorbent/catalyst design for energy efficientchlorinated volatile organic compound (CVOC) destruction. The Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP), the U.S. Air Force, and EPA have sponsored research on a technology for the destruction of CVOCs from both air streams and remediation of contaminated wastewater. The catalytic oxidation of humid dilute VOCs from stripping contaminated wastewater is cheaper and more effective than carbon adsorption (either of water or stripping air) followed by regeneration of the bed and destruction of the VOCs.
