Decomposition Character st of Toluene Using a Glidarc Water-jet Plasma

Volatile organic compounds emitted to the atmosphere can cause adverse effects on human health and participate in photochemical smog formation reactions. The destruction of a series of VOCs has been carried out by non-thermal plasma in other researches. And the characteristic of non-thermal plasma was operated at atmospheric pressure and low temperature. A new type non-thermal plasma reactor was investigated combined Glidarc plasma with water jet in this research. Also, it was found that the water-jet had an significant effect on the toluene removal efficiency. But too much water content does not favor toluene decomposition by decreasing of reaction temperature. The input toluene concentration, gas flow rate, water flow rate and specific energy input were used as experiment. variables. The toluene removal efficiency, energy efficiency and specific energy input were 75.3% 146.6 g/kWh and 1.12 kWh/M-3 at a water flow rate of 100 mL/m n.
