Abstract :
Summary form only given, as follows. In recent years, nonthermal plasma has been an active research topic for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). We investigated nonthermal plasmas to remove VOCs more efficiently in dielectric barrier discharges with photocatalysts. In this study, we investigated the removal characteristic of toluene in the plasma catalytic hybrid process, and we evaluated its electrical characteristics.
