Decomposition of Gas-Phase Benzene Using Plasma – Driven Catalyst Reactor: Complete Oxidation of Adsorbed Benzene Using Oxygen Plasma

Abstract

AbstractIn this work, we report the decomposition of gas-phase benzene using plasma-driven catalyst (PDC) system of a single-stage configuration. The decomposition of benzene was affected by the reactor diameter of the surface discharge type PDC reactor. The smaller the reactor diameter, the higher the decomposition efficiency. Long-term test over 150 h demonstrated the stable operation of the PDC reactor without any deterioration of catalytic activity. The PDC reactor with Ag/TiO
