In this study, Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) blended with Polyethylene glycol (PEG), Monosodium glutamate (MSG) and Glutamic acid (GA) was cast on a reverse osmosis membrane to form a composite membrane. It is expected that the ether group can increase the CO2 affinity of the membrane. Sodium tetraborate (Borax) as a crosslinker can increase membrane basicity and glutamic acid (salt) can provide an enhanced transport mechanism, thereby improving the permeability and selectivity of carbon dioxide. FTIR spectra show that the thickness of coating is sufficiently low, while SEM results show that PVA-PEG series have a dense surface, and particles are observed on the surface of MSG/GA series. The gas permeance and separation performance of the composite membrane was tested using a single gas. Results showed that CO2 had higher permeance (GPU) at lower pressure differential. PEG with an ether group had the greatest effect on improving CO2 permeance and selectivity. However, MSG and GA with amine groups could not effectively improve CO2 selectivity due to solubility. The best coating solution was provided by PVA-PEG-1.2. The CO2 selectivity of the composite membrane was 10.05 with a pressure differential of 1.00 bar in a humid environment and no obvious deterioration was observed over a 10-day period. Borax can improve selectivity, water absorption, and thermal stability while avoiding the need for high temperature and long crosslinking time of aldehydes, which makes it possible to be used in a PVA carbon dioxide separation membrane.

The abatement of toluene was studied in a sequential adsorption-plasma catalysis (APC) process. Within this process, Hopcalite was used as bifunctional material: as adsorbent (storage stage) and as catalyst via the oxidation of adsorbed toluene (discharge stage). It was observed that the desorption and oxidation activity of the adsorbed toluene was significantly affected the process variables. In addition, the adsorption time influenced the CO2 selectivity and CO2 yield by changing the interaction between the catalyst and the plasma generated species. At least four APC sequences were performed for each examined condition suggesting that Hopcalite is very stable under plasma exposure during all the sequences. Consequently, these results could contribute to advance the plasma–catalyst system with an optimal VOC oxidation efficiency. The catalytic activity, amount of toluene adsorbed, amount of toluene desorbed and product formation have been quantified by FT-IR. Moreover, the catalyst was characterized by XRD, H2-TPR, N2 adsorption–desorption analysis and XPS. Hopcalite shows a good CO2 selectivity and CO2 yield when the APC process is performed with an adsorption time of 20 min and a plasma treatment with a discharge power of 46 W which leads to a low energy cost of 11.6 kWh·m−3 and energy yields of toluene and CO2 of 0.18 (±0.01) g·kWh−1 and 0.48 (±0.06) g·kWh−1 respectively.

Toluene removal by double dielectric barrier charge (DDBD) plasma combined with a ZrMnFe/Sepiolite (SEP) catalyst was investigated and compared with the results from Fe/SEP, Mn/SEP and MnFe/SEP ones. All the catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method and characterized by XRD, BET, ICP, SEM, TEM, H2-TPR and XPS. The effect of catalysts on toluene degradation efficiency, carbon balance, CO2 selectivity and residual O3 concentration was studied. The experimental results indicated that the ZrMnFe/SEP catalyst presented the best catalytic performance. This is because of the high content of lattice oxygen contained in its surface, owing to the addition of Zr. When the SIE was 740 J/L, the highest toluene removal efficiency (87%), carbon balance (93%) and CO2 selectivity (51%) were obtained. The ZrMnFe/SEP catalyst had a better ozone inhibition effect than other catalysts. The catalyst has good stability, which the toluene removal efficiency, carbon balance and CO2 selectivity did not decrease significantly after 36 h of work at a constant energy density. The results indicated that the ZrMnFe/SEP catalyst is an efficient catalyst for degradation of toluene by plasma-catalyst measures.
