The research into oxidation of aqueous humic substances (HS) with pulsed corona discharge (PCD) was undertaken to estimate the energy efficiency of the treatment. The PCD system consists of a voltage pulse generator and reactor, in which the gas-phase discharge generating OH radicals and ozone treats the water showered between electrodes. The influence of HS initial concentration, pulse repetition frequency, water flow rate, and the atmosphere composition was evaluated by the decrease in total organic carbon (TOC) and color. The PCD treatment reduced TOC by 40 to 50% and the color by up to 97%. The PCD energy efficiency ranged about 20 g kW−1 h−1 in air and 30 g kW−1 h−1 in oxygen for the lowest initial color of about 50 Pt-Co degrees. Ozone contributed about 30% to the color reduction and only 15% to the reduction in TOC, indicating predominant role of OH radicals in mineralization of oxidation by-products.

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to give a review of the research on the decomposition of trichloroethylene (TCE), a common industrial solvent, with combined use of non-thermal plasma and heterogeneous catalysis, i.e. plasma-catalysis. This air purification technique has been investigated over the last decade in an effort to overcome the disadvantages of non-thermal plasma treatment of waste air containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Some examples of different plasma technologies used for plasma-catalysis are given. These include the dielectric barrier discharge, the pulsed corona discharge and the atmospheric pressure glow discharge. In a plasma-catalytic hybrid system the catalyst can either be located in the discharge region or downstream of the plasma reactor. The mechanisms that drive both configurations are briefly discussed, followed by an extended literature overview of the removal of TCE with plasma-catalysis.
