Abstract
In this study, we investigated the abatement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by the atmospheric pressure microwave plasma torch (AMPT). To study the treatment efficiency of AMPT, we used the toluene and water-based varnish to simulate VOCs, respectively. By measuring the compounds and contents of the mixture gas before/after the microwave plasma process, we have calculated the treatment efficiency of AMPT. The experiment results show that the treatment efficiency of AMPT for toluene with a concentration of 17.32×104 ppm is up to 60 g/kWh with the removal rate of 86%. For the volatile compounds of water-based varnish, the removal efficiency is up to 97.99%. We have demonstrated the higher potential for VOCs removal of the AMPT process.
