Abstract

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are one of the important pollutants, which are easy to cause serious harm to the environment and human body. In this paper, solid adsorbents based on carbon-based adsorbents and porous molecular sieves, organic adsorbents and chemical materials based on chemical catalysts and photocatalysts are introduced. The effects of pore structure, specific surface area and acid base functional groups on the saturated adsorption capacity of carbon based adsorbents and porous molecular sieves were discussed. The differences between volatile organic solvents and new microemulsion systems and ionic liquids in terms of volatility, solubility and selectivity were compared. The latest progress of conventional thermal catalysts (noble metals, transition metals) and Photocatalysts (Metal/Nonmetal Doping, Nanomaterial Composite, Dye Sensitization) in VOCs treatment was discussed. The application prospects of new materials around biosurfactants and ionic liquids in the treatment of volatile organic compounds were pointed out.
