Abstract

A series of experiments using non-thermal plasma coupled with catalyst for toluene removal were carried out. Based on reactor input energy density and removal efficiency and energy efficiency and inhibition for O3 formation, catalyst load amount on the surface of γ-Al2O3 pellets and the performance of different catalysts were compared in the experiments. The results show the catalysis performance of 10% MnOx/γ-Al2O3 coupled with non-thermal plasma was highest. Nano-TiO2/γ-Al2O3 and MnOx/γ-Al2O3 catalysts coupled with non-thermal plasma resulted in greater enhancement of toluene removal efficiency and energy efficiency. MnOx/γ-Al2O3 operated on a better inhibition for O3 formation in the gas exhaust.
