It is urgent to control the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) due to their harmful effects on the environment and human health. A hybrid system integrating non-thermal-plasma and catalysis is regarded as one of the most promising technologies for VOCs removal due to their high VOCs removal efficiency, product selectivity and energy efficiency. This review systematically documents the main findings and improvements of VOCs removal using plasma-catalysis technology in recent 10 years. To better understand the fundamental relation between different aspects of this research field, this review mainly addresses the catalyst development, key influential factors, generation of by-products and reaction mechanism of VOCs decomposition in the plasma-catalysis process. Also, a comparison of the performance in various VOCs removal processes is provided. Particular emphasis is given to the importance of the selected catalyst and the synergy of plasma and catalyst in the VOCs removal in the hybrid system, which can be used as a reference point for future studies in this field.
由于挥发性有机化合物 (VOCs) 对环境和人类健康的有害影响,控制其排放迫在眉睫。由于其高 VOCs 去除效率、产物选择性和能源效率,将非热等离子体和催化作用集成的混合系统被认为是去除 VOCs 的最有前途的技术之一。本综述系统地记录了近 10 年来使用等离子体催化技术去除 VOCs 的主要发现和改进。为了更好地理解该研究领域不同方面之间的基本关系,本综述主要介绍了催化剂的开发、关键影响因素、等离子体催化过程中副产物的产生和 VOCs 分解的反应机制。还提供了各种 VOCs 去除过程性能的比较。特别强调了在混合系统中选择的催化剂和等离子体与催化剂之间的协同作用对 VOCs 去除的重要性,这可以作为该领域未来研究的参考点。
