What is Study of Volatile Organic Compounds Destruction by Dielectric Barrier Corona Discharge about?

An experimental and mechanistic study on the destruction of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs: Methane, Methyl Chloride, Chlorobenzene, Toluene, Methyl Ethyl Ketone, 1-Pentene and Cyclohexene) in 0.21: 0.79 oxygen-nitrogen mixture "zero air" over the concentration range of 5-100000 ppm by dielectric barrier corona discharge plasma was performed. Tubular-flow, coaxial-wire, AC-powered dielectric barrier corona discharge reactors were used to determine the kinetics of destruction, reaction products and electric power requirements. High efficiency VOC destruction/removal was demonstrated. Efficiency of destruction (calculated per unit volume of air) increases with decreasing VOC concentration. At low VOC concentrations (5-100 ppm) the energy required for destruction is 0.001-0.1 J cm' 3 . The kinetics of destruction was shown to follow (in a first approximation, for all VOCs studied but methane) the "pseudo-first order" law: C out /C in = exp (-E v /E' v 0 x voc ), where E v is the energy density, E' v 0 is energy per unit volume required to reduce the concentration of VOC to the e" 1 level in a hypothetical mixture with the unit mole fraction of VOC, and x voc is the mole fraction of
