Synergetic effect between non-thermal plasma and photocatalytic oxidation on the degradation of gas-phase toluene: Role of ozone

Abstract

Abstract:

In this study, a hybrid process using non-thermal plasma (NTP) and photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) was adopted for the degradation of gas-phase toluene using TiO₂ as the photocatalyst. To discover the synergetic effect between NTP and PCO, the performances of both sole (O₃, UV, NTP, and PCO) and combined (O₃ + TiO₂, O₃ + UV, NTP + UV, O₃ + PCO, and NTP + PCO) processes were investigated from different perspectives, such as the toluene removal efficiency, selectivity of CO_x, mineralization rate, ozone utilization, and the generation of by-products. The toluene removal efficiency of the combined NTP + PCO process was 80.2%, which was much higher than that of a sole degradation process such as NTP (18.8%) and PCO (13.4%). The selectivity of CO₂ and the ozone utilization efficiency also significantly improved. The amount of by-products in the gas phase and the carbon-based intermediates adsorbed on the catalyst surface dramatically reduced. The improvement in the overall performances of the combined NTP + PCO process was mainly ascribed to the efficient utilization of ozone in the photocatalytic oxidation, and the ozone further acting as an electron acceptor and scavenger, generating more hydroxyl radicals and reducing the recombination of electron-hole pairs.

Key words: Non-thermal plasma, Photocatalytic oxidation, Synergetic effect, Ozone, Toluene
