Decomposition of dilute trichloroethylene by nonthermal plasma processing-catalyst and ozone effect

Description

Decomposition performance of dilute (100-1000 ppm) trichloroethylene (TCE) contaminated in air by using nonthermal plasma processing combined with catalyst or indirect plasma processing was newly studied. Some catalysts, such as vanadium oxide (V/sub 2/O/sub 5/) or tungsten oxide (WO/sub 3/), improve decomposition performance but byproducts by that process must be confirmed. Indirect plasma processing (plasma processed pure air is mixed with TCE contaminated air) suggests the existence of very active oxidation radicals after the plasma process whose generation is strongly related with the existence of oxygen molecules. The lifetime of that radical is about a few minutes but details are not yet clear.
