Abstract :
Dilute trichloroethylene (TCE) and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in air were decomposed by using the nonthermal plasma process combined with catalysts. The nonthermal plasma generates ozone, if the processed gas contains oxygen. The newly proposed indirect process can decompose TCE and other VOCs by the ozone. Manganese oxide can dissociate ozone to oxygen radical which decompose TCE and other VOCs.
