Unveiling the synergism and reaction pathway of ethyl acetate removal in DBD/absorption integrated reactor

The experiment employs dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) combined with absorption integrated reactor (DCAIR) for higher concentration ethyl acetate removal and studies the synergism of DCAIR technology and the reaction pathway of ethyl acetate. Among three technologies of DCAIR, DBD and DBD combined with absorption series reactor (DCASR), DCAIR achieved the highest removal efficiency (RE) of ethyl acetate at similar input power. Fixed gas flow rate of 1000 ml/min and cC4H8O2in of 5000 mg/m3, the average REs of DCASR and DCAIR are higher than that of DBD by 31.2 % and 34.2 %, respectively. For the efficiency compensation mechanism, one of synergies in DCAIR, RE of ethyl acetate could exceed 80 % at the input power of 15 W. Energy consumption evaluation shows when RE > 80 %, the max energy efficiency of three technologies is in the order 70.0 g/kWh (DCAIR) > 5.1 g/kWh (DCASR) > 3.0 g/kWh (DBD). Tail gas and absorbent analysis reveals DCAIR can enhance mineralizing ethyl acetate and eliminating the secondary pollutants (e.g., O3, gaseous organic intermediates, and COD, etc.) effectively, due to its special structure of reactor. According to FT-IR spectra, the degradation mechanism and reaction pathway of ethyl acetate in DCAIR has been unveiled.

Highly efficient degradation of ethanol, acetaldehyde, and ethyl acetate removal by bio-trickling filter reactors with various fillers

This study investigates the purification performance of bio-trickling filters (BTFs) using different media to treat ethanol, acetaldehyde, and ethyl acetate in kitchen waste malodorous gases. The media compared included a custom composite medium, pine bark, hollow polyhedral spheres, and ceramic particles. Over 25 days, the composite medium outperformed the traditional media, achieving removal rates of 90.13 % for ethanol, 63.89 % for acetaldehyde, and 82.56 % for ethyl acetate during the biofilm initiation phase, with the others below 60 %. Even under low empty bed residence time and high inlet concentrations, the maximum elimination capacity for ethanol, acetaldehyde, and ethyl acetate was 8.34–14.70 g/m3·h, 9.55–15.06 g/m3·h, and 6.18–10.45 g/m3·h. Kinetic analysis showed the Michaelis-Menten model fit well, indicating enhanced removal potential. High-throughput of 16S rDNA sequencing identified dominant microorganisms like Enterobacteriaceae (13.89 %), Stenotrophomonas (29.23 %), and Acinetobacter (4.09 %) in the composite medium, which thrived even at high pollutant concentrations. Principal component analysis (PCA) demonstrated differences in the microbial composition of the custom composite medium compared to traditional media under varying inlet concentrations and loads. This study provides technical support for the treatment of complex malodorous gas mixtures.

Platinum nanoparticles decorated TiO2 nanotubes for VOCs and bacteria removal in simulated real condition: Effect of the deposition method on the photocatalytic degradation process efficiency

The incorporation of noble metals onto TiO2 nanostructure is considered as a promoting method to enhance the photocatalytic degradation of pollutant in air treatment process. In this study, highly organized TiO2 nanotubes (NTs) were grown by the anodization method of Titanium substrates. The TiO2-NTs were successfully decorated by platinum (Pt) nanoparticles (NPs) using two different deposition methods: (1) electrodeposition and (2) photodeposition.We explore the impact of different deposition methods on the morphology of Pt nanoparticles (NPs) dispersed onto TiO2 nanotubes and the optical characteristics of Pt-TiO2 nanocomposites, investigating their efficacy in photocatalytic degradation We investigate the effect of varying the deposition method on the morphology of Pt-NPs dispersed onto TiO2 nanotubes and the optical properties of the Pt-TiO2 nanocomposites and their efficient photocatalytic activity degradation against Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and bacteria. Scanning and Transmission Electron Microscopy (SEM and TEM) reveal a nanotubular TiO2 anatase structure adorned with Pt NPs, with the quantity and size of NPs contingent upon the deposition technique employed. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra demonstrate that the Pt/TiO2 heterojunction facilitates the separation of photogenerated charges, thereby diminishing carrier recombination rates. To point out the effect of Pt NPS, both pure TiO2 and Pt/TiO2 heterojunction were tested in the photodegradation of Ethyl Acetate (EA). The Pt/TiO2 heterojunction exhibits superior photocatalytic performance compared to TiO2 in EA degradation, regardless of the Pt deposition method employed. Optimal results are achieved with 120 s of Pt electrodeposition and 3 h of Pt photodeposition under visible irradiation, yielding kinetic constants of approximately 0.245 and 0.195 mg.m−3.s−1, respectively, underscoring the pivotal role of the platinum deposition method in pollutant photodegradation. Respectively simultaneous removal of EA and bacteria (Escherichia coli) was tested using Pt and non-Pt decorated TiO2 NTs. We attributed a total degradation of the bacteria after 180 min using the two efficient photocatalysts Electro 120 s and Photo 3 h compared to 60 % of degradation using pure TiO2 nanotubes.

Insights into effects of grain boundary engineering in composite metal oxide catalysts for improving catalytic performance

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) have long been a threat to human health. However, designing economical and efficient transition metal composite oxide catalysts for VOCs purification remains a challenge. Herein, this study demonstrates the enormous potential of grain boundary engineering in facilitating VOCs decomposition over ordered mesoporous composite oxide denoted as 3D-MnxCoy (x, y = 1, 3, 5, 7, 9). Specifically, the three-dimensional (3D) Mn7Co1 catalyst shows 100% ethyl acetate removal efficiency for a continuous airflow containing 1000 ppm ethyl acetate over 60000 h−1 space velocity at 160 °C. Mechanism study suggests that the high catalytic performance originates from the lattice distortion caused by the introduction of heteroatoms, along with the size effect of nanopore walls, which leads to the formation of various grain boundaries on the catalyst surface. The presence of grain boundaries facilitates the generation of oxygen vacancies, thus promoting the migration and activation of oxygen species. Furthermore, the near-atmospheric pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (NAP- XPS) monitoring results reveal that the bimetallic synergy enhanced by grain boundary accelerates the catalytic reaction rate of VOCs through Mn3++Co3+↔Mn4++Co2+ redox cycle. This study may shed light on the great potential of ordered mesoporous bimetallic oxide catalysts in VOCs pollution control.

Effects of filling methods on the degradation of ethyl acetate and the microbial community in biofilters

Two biofilters (BFs) for treating ethyl acetate (EA) were constructed with magnetite, activated carbon, perlite and gravel added via layered filling (BF1) or mixed filling (BF2). This study demonstrated the effect of filling method on the degradation of EA and the microbial community in the BFs. The results indicated that the EA removal efficiency (RE) of BF1 and BF2 reached 86.3 ± 3.0 % and 88.9 ± 2.1 %, respectively, under low inlet load (L-IL; (224 g/(m3·h)). Meanwhile, BF2 exhibited stabler RE than BF1 at high IL. BF1 achieved the highest REs of total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen (TN) and ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N) under moderate inlet load (M-IL; 336 g/(m3·h)), with average values of 95.8 ± 3.5 %, 83.4 ± 0.4 %, and 85.7 ± 0.3 %, respectively. The removal of TP, TN and NH4+-N in BF2 was superior than BF1 at L-IL and M-IL condition. Moreover, the genera Burkholderia, Acinetobacter, unclassified_Rhizobiales and unclassified_Burkholderiales were the dominant EA-degrading bacteria in BF1, while the EA-degrading bacteria in BF2 were dominated by unclassified_Chloroflexi, unclassified_Bacteroidetes and unclassified_Anaerolineaceae. Furthermore, the mechanism investigation of the mechanism revealed that the types of filling method affect EA degradation by shifting the abundance and diversity of key microorganisms in biodegradation. This study provides an effective strategy for improving the biodegradation efficiency of volatile organic compounds VOCs.

Birnessite MnO2 supported on CNTs in-situ for low-temperature oxidation of ethyl acetate

The removal of ethyl acetate has received much attention because excessive emissions of ethyl acetate are harmful to the environment and human health. Efficiently removing ethyl acetate under high space velocity requires low-cost catalysts operating at low temperatures. Herein, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) supported birnessite MnO2 catalysts were in-situ prepared by the redox reaction between KMnO4 and CNTs to maximize the interaction between MnO2 and support. The good thermal stability derived from the intact CNTs structure was important for the interaction between MnO2 and CNTs, contributing to the enhanced catalytic activity for ethyl acetate oxidation. 4MnO2-CNTs showed outstanding performance for the catalytic oxidation of ethyl acetate (100 ppm), achieving 100% removal efficiency and 99% CO2 selectivity at 160 °C under 100,000 mL·g−1·h−1 space velocity. In addition, 4MnO2-CNTs exhibited an excellent catalytic stability during the 50 h test period. Based on the comprehensive characterization study, we revealed that the activity of 4MnO2-CNTs could be effectively enhanced by the higher amount of active sites (Mn3+ and surface active adsorbed hydroxyl oxygen), as well as the strong interaction between MnO2 and support and the good thermal stability derived from the introduction of the intact CNTs structure.

Photothermal synergistic catalytic oxidation of ethyl acetate over MOFs-derived mesoporous N-TiO2 supported Pd catalysts

To overcome the main challenge of low photocatalytic efficiency and high energy consumption of thermocatalysis in the oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), MOF-derived mesoporous disk-like yPd/xN-TiO2 (x = 3.2, 5.5, 7.7 wt%, and y = 0.26 wt%) were prepared by ball milling-calcination method for photothermal catalytic oxidation of ethyl acetate. Morphological and pore structure characterization indicated that Pd/N-TiO2 had abundant pore structure and large specific surface area, which facilitated the adsorption of pollutants on the active sites. Among the catalysts, 0.26 Pd/3.2 N-TiO2 exhibited optimal photothermal catalytic performance. The corresponding temperature required for 50% and 90% conversion of ethyl acetate was 192 and 212 °C, with the specific reaction rate of 0.95 µmol/(gPd s) at 150 °C. Doping of N and loading of Pd nanoparticles enhanced the light absorption capacity, promoted the charge separation, and the adsorption capacity of ethyl acetate, resulting in a high photothermal catalytic oxidation activity. The detection of free radicals indicated that the photothermal synergy was associated with the generation of reactive oxygen species over 0.26 Pd/3.2 N-TiO2 under light irradiation condition, which directly participated in the catalytic removal of ethyl acetate. A proper increase in temperature could also promote the migration of carriers. The photothermal catalytic oxidation of VOCs over MOF-derivatives had great potential application for environmental protection.

Highly active nanostick-assembled TiO2@MnOx hollow-sphere structure for photothermocatalysis of ethyl acetate and NO with free-ammonia at low temperature: Resistence, key reaction steps and mechanisms

In this work, a series of self-assembled nanosticks into hollow-sphere structure of TiO2-MnOx (H1 sample), TiO2@MnOx (H2 sample) and MnOx@TiO2 (H3 sample) catalysts were successfully established. These samples were used to investigate the resistance to SO2 and H2O, key reaction steps, and the possible catalytic mechanisms for the photothermocatalytic removal of ethyl acetate and NO with free-ammonia at low temperature. Among all the samples, sample H2 exhibited the best catalytic activity, which exhibited 70% NO conversion and 56% ethyl acetate degradation at 240 ℃ under SO2 and H2O. The catalyst was resistant to SO2 and H2O and potentially benefited from the hollow structure’s protection of active components. Moreover, the sample H2 loaded first with manganese and then with titanium, was favorable for the oxidation of ethyl acetate into small-molecule intermediates, thereby improving NO conversion. This indicated that the partial oxidation of ethyl acetate as the reductant for NO conversion was a key step of the simultaneous degradation of VOCs and NO. In addition, organic by-products of ethyl acetate and NO degradation, such as ethane and ethanol, were found. Finally, the theoretical results of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations revealed that ethyl acetate was more easily converted into CH3CH2· and CH3COO· groups in our system.

Pollution and Cleaning of PDMS Pervaporation Membranes after Recovering Ethyl Acetate from Aqueous Saline Solutions

The removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from wastewater containing nonvolatile salts has become an important and interesting case of the application of the pervaporation (PV) process. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of salts on the PV removal of ethyl acetate from wastewater using a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane. The fouled membrane was then characterized via scanning electron microscopy–energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM–EDX) to investigate salt permeation. The membrane backflushing process was carried out by periodically flushing the permeate side of the tubular membrane. The results demonstrated that salts (NaCl and CaCl2) could permeate through the PDMS membrane and were deposited on the permeate side. The presence of salts in the feed solution caused a slight increase in the membrane selectivity and a decrease in the permeate flux. The flux decreased with increasing salt concentration, and a notable effect occurred at higher feed-salt concentrations. A permeate flux of up to 98.3% of the original flux was recovered when the permeation time and backflushing duration were 30 and 5 min, respectively, indicating that the effect of salt deposition on flux reduction could be mitigated. Real, organic, saline wastewater was treated in a pilot plant, which further verified the feasibility of wastewater PV treatment.

High-throughput volatile organic compounds removal in a sandwich-type honeycomb catalyst system combined with plasma

This paper reports on the ethyl acetate (EA) removal over a honeycomb catalyst using an experimental design methodology. A mathematical model based on the response surface methodology is developed to evaluate the effect of parameters such as specific input energy (SIE), humidity, and EA concentration on the response variables (i.e., removal and energy efficiency). A set of experiments based on a statistical three-level full-factorial design of the experimental method were performed to collect the removal data. The model (R12 = 0.9858 and R22 = 0.9305 for removal and energy efficiency, respectively) indicates a satisfactory correlation between the experimental and predicted values. The analysis results using the model show that SIE is the principal parameter affecting the EA removal. Besides, verification of the experimental results indicates that the EA removal of 90.93% and the energy efficiency of 2.91g.kWh−1 at 235 J L-1, 1.5%, and 30.3 ppm were achieved under optimal conditions.

Degradation of enrofloxacin in aqueous by DBD plasma and UV: Degradation performance, mechanism and toxicity assessment

Enrofloxacin (ENRO) as a highly toxic antibiotic poses great threats to human health and environmental safety. In this study, a novel technology of coupling dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) and ultraviolet (UV) was investigated to efficiently degrade ENRO in aqueous, and had a higher degradation rate. The ENRO degradation rate achieved approximately 93.9% at 30 min, and approximately 1.20 g kWh−1 of energy yield (G50) was observed for the combined system. The addition of H2O2 and K2S2O4 improved the ENRO degradation due to the generation of ·OH and ·SO42-. In the presence of NO3–, the ENRO degradation played a tendency to promote first and then decrease, and the presence of SO42- resulted in the positive effect, while the negative effect was shown in the presence of Cl- and CO32–. The trapping experiment indicated that ·OH played an important part in the ENRO degradation. The addition of UV into the DBD system decreased H2O2 concentration in deionized water, and increased ·OH concentration. The DFT analysis showed the degradation mechanisms of ENRO at a molecular level. The degradation of ENRO mainly involved the oxidation of the piperazine group, the removal of ethyl acetate and the substitution of the F atom. The toxicity of ENRO and its degradation intermediates was evaluated.

Highly efficient UV-visible-infrared photothermocatalytic removal of ethyl acetate over a nanocomposite of CeO2 and Ce-doped manganese oxide

A unique nanocomposite of CeO2 nanoparticles and Ce-doped manganese oxide nanofibers having a crystalline cryptomelane-type octahedral molecular sieve (KMn8O16·nH2O, abbreviated as OMS-2) structure (denoted CeO2-CeOMS-2) was prepared by the reaction of Ce(NO3)3 and KMnO4 at 90 °C. CeO2-CeOMS-2 shows extremely high photothermocatalytic activity, very low selectivity for acetaldehyde (an unfavorable byproduct), and excellent durability for ethyl acetate removal under UV-visible-infrared (UV-vis-IR) irradiation. In striking contrast, pure CeO2, pure OMS-2, and TiO2 (P25) showed much lower photothermocatalytic activities and higher selectivities for acetaldehyde. The CO2 production rate within the first five minutes (rCO2) of reaction with CeO2-CeOMS-2 was as high as 1102.5 μmol g–1 min–1, which is 137, 17, and 30-times higher than those of pure CeO2, pure OMS-2, and TiO2 (P25), respectively. CeO2-CeOMS-2 also shows good photothermocatalytic activity under vis-IR (λ > 420 or 560 nm) irradiation. Further, even under vis-IR (λ > 830 nm) irradiation, efficient photothermocatalytic activity was achieved. In addition, the catalytic activity of CeO2-CeOMS-2 is far superior to those of pure CeO2 and OMS-2, which is attributed to the fact that Ce doping significantly improves the lattice oxygen activity of OMS-2. The high photothermocatalytic activity of CeO2-CeOMS-2 arises from the synergy between the photocatalytic effect of the CeO2 nanoparticles and light-driven thermocatalysis of the Ce-doped OMS-2. The novel photoactivation of Ce-doped OMS-2, which is unlike that of conventional photocatalysis on semiconductor photocatalysts, further promotes the catalytic activity because the surface oxygen activity of Ce-doped OMS-2 is promoted upon UV-vis-IR or vis-IR (λ > 560 nm) irradiation.

Removal of ethyl acetate in air by using different types of corona discharges generated in a honeycomb monolith structure coated with Pd/γ-alumina

A method based on the corona discharge produced by high voltage alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) over a Pd/γ-Al2O3 catalyst supported on a honeycomb structure monolith was developed to eliminate ethyl acetate (EA) from the air at atmospheric pressure. The characteristics of the AC and DC corona discharge generated inside the honeycomb structure monolith were investigated by varying the humidity, gas hourly space velocity (GHSV), and temperature. The results showed that the DC corona discharge is more stable and easily operated at different operating conditions such as humidity, GHSV, and gas temperature compared to the AC discharge. At a given applied voltage, the EA conversion in the DC honeycomb catalyst discharge is, therefore, higher compared with that in the AC honeycomb catalyst discharge (e.g., 96% of EA conversion compared with approximately 68%, respectively, at 11.2 kV). These new results can open opportunities for wide applications of DC corona discharge combined with honeycomb catalysts to VOC treatment.

Co3O4 nanoparticles with different morphologies for catalytic removal of ethyl acetate

Nanosized Co3O4 with different morphologies (rods-like (NR-), flowers-like (NF-), cages-like (NC-) and single crystal (NP-)) were synthesized by using hydrothermal and co-precipitation methods and applied in catalytic removal of ethyl acetate (EA). Complete EA conversion under a space velocity of 30,000 mL/ (g h) are shown at 210 °C for NP-Co3O4. The results of physicochemical properties reveals that NP-Co3O4 catalyst performs the best catalytic activity for EA oxidation attributed to larger specific surface area, better low-temperature reducibility, abundant Co3+ cationic species exposed on the (220) plane and sufficiently active surface oxygen species.

Synergistic degradation of NO and ethyl acetate by plasma activated “pseudo photocatalysis” on Ce/ZnGa2O4/NH2-UiO-66 catalyst: Restrictive relation and reaction pathways exploration

• In plasma, NO 2 inhibited the mineralization of EA, centered on C 3 H 6 O. • Ce/ZnGa 2 O 4 enhanced the reaction rate of NO and EA removal. • NH 2 -UiO-66 further decoration facilitated NO 2 deep-oxidation and EA mineralization. • The catalysts prioritized the generation of C 2 H 4 O, the key intermediate of EA. This study developed synergistic control of NO and ethyl acetate (EA) in plasma system. There existed restrictive relation between NO x and EA when co-degraded in plasma. NO 2 inhibited EA degradation especially its mineralization, due to the “fast NO x reaction”. For breaking this restriction, Ce/ZnGa 2 O 4 /NH 2 -UiO-66 catalyst was designed and form “plasma-catalysis” hybrid system. Under the plasma induced “pseudo photocatalysis”, there was 100% and 96.21% NO and EA removal efficiency, respectively, at SIE of 392 J/L, where the selectivity of CO 2 and CO x was 73.93% and 94.35%, respectively. Intermediate analysis indicated that NO 2 mainly suppressed the mineralization of C 3 H 6 O, whilst the addition of catalysts accelerated the formation of C 2 H 4 O, the key intermediate. The enhanced performance was attributed to the improved yield of active radicals, the good adsorption ability and activation of EA and NO x , and the hydrolysis of EA. Radicals (·O 2 – and ·OH) both participated in the reactions, in which ·O 2 – was dominating. The clarity of the restrictive relation between NO x and VOCs in plasma may provide guidance for further studies. The catalyst design strategy is likely to inspire more artful catalysts for plasma-catalysis systems.

Boosting the photocatalytic degradation of ethyl acetate by a Z-scheme Au–TiO2@NH2-UiO-66 heterojunction with ultrafine Au as an electron mediator

A Z-scheme Au–TiO2@NH2-UiO-66 photocatalyst with ultrafine Au as electron mediator was synthesized, which exhibited an exceptionally high mineralization efficiency of 85% at 94.6% ethyl acetate removal under visible light irradiation.

Steady-state operation of a biofilter coupled with photocatalytic control of bacterial bioaerosol emissions.

Bioaerosols are emitted during the biological treatment of water, soil, and air pollutants. The elimination of these pollutants has become a priority due to their detrimental effects on human health. Advanced oxidation technologies have been used to control bioaerosol emissions specially to improve indoor air quality. This investigation was focused on evaluating the biofiltration of ethyl acetate vapors in terms of removal efficiency and bioaerosol emission. Also, a continuous photocatalytic process to inactivate bioaerosols emitted from the biofilter was assessed as a post-treatment. The photocatalysis was developed with ZnO and TiO2 immobilized onto Poraver glass beads. Flow cytometry (FC) coupled with fluorochromes was used to characterize and quantify bioaerosol emissions in terms of live, dead, and injured cells. Ethyl acetate removal efficiencies were maintained in a steady state with values of 100% under 60-gm-3h-1 inlet load (IL). Biomass concentration in the biofilter reached values up to 228mgbiomassgperlite-1 at day 56 of operation, but the spontaneous occurrence of predatory mites diminished biomass concentration by 33%. Bioaerosols emitted during the steady-state operation of the biofilter were composed mainly by bacteria (~ 94%) and in a less extent of fungal spores (0.29-6%). The most efficient photocatalytic system comprised TiO2/Poraver with 78% inactivation of bioaerosols during the first 2h of the process, whereas the ZnO/Poraver system showed null activity (~ 0%) of inactivation. FC results show that the main mechanism of inactivation of TiO2/Poraver was cell death.

Catalytic decomposition of ethyl acetate over La-modified Cu–Mn oxide supported on honeycomb ceramic

The La-modified Cu–Mn spinel oxide was successfully coated onto honeycomb ceramic by a wash-coating method for complete catalytic decomposition of ethyl acetate. The La-modified Cu–Mn oxides were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, H2-temperature programmed reduction, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method, field-emission scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The effects of different precipitants and rare earth doping on the structure and catalytic performance of the catalysts were investigated. The results show that the CuMn2O4 spinel with (NH4)2CO3 as a precipitant can form a larger specific surface area and a suitable pore size, which is beneficial to the absorption of ethyl acetate. Although the rare earth doping does not significantly change the crystal phase structure of the catalyst, it improves its reducibility and lowers the temperature of the catalytic decomposition. With respect to the catalytic decomposition of ethyl acetate, the rare earth-modified Cu–Mn oxide supported on honeycomb ceramic shows excellent catalytic performance with 100% conversion under the conditions of 239 °C, space velocity of 12500 h−1 and 1000 ppm. And the ethyl acetate removal rate is still 100% after 1440 min of continuous reaction.

Removal of ethyl acetate by plasma enhanced with jet flows

Non-thermal plasma is widely used for the removal of volatile organic compounds owing to the various advantages of this technique, which include being maneuverable, environmentally friendly, and low-cost compared with traditional methods. In this paper, the removal of ethyl acetate by non-thermal plasma enhanced with jet flows was carried out in a coaxial dielectric barrier discharge reactor. The influence of the plasma-induced jet flows produced by the discharge of two plasma generators with different arrangements on the spatial flow field was explored. The removal efficiency of ethyl acetate was determined with a series of different experimental parameters: the loading voltage (7–13 kV), the initial concentration of ethyl acetate (100, 500, and 1000 ppm), and the arrangement of the two plasma generators (aligned and diagonal). The results of the numerical simulations and particle image velocimetry tests showed good consistency regarding the influence of the arrangement of the two plasma generators on the spatial flow field. This indicates that the Suzen model was successfully developed for the bulk discharge, and the plasma-induced jet flows generated by the coaxial dielectric barrier discharge could be determined by the direct numerical simulations. The maximal removal efficiency was achieved with a loading voltage of 13 kV, and the removal efficiency of ethyl acetate was greater for the aligned arrangement of plasma generators than for the diagonal arrangement. This work demonstrates for the first time the introduction of the aerodynamics effects of non-thermal plasma into the chemical reaction, providing a completely new way to remove volatile organic compounds.
