Toluene Oxidation by Non-Thermal Plasma Combined with Palladium Catalysts

Toluene Oxidation by Non-Thermal Plasma Combined with Palladium Catalysts

The oxidation of toluene in air was investigated using a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) combined with a Pd/Al2O3 catalyst. When using only plasma, rather low selectivity towards CO2 was obtained: 32-35%. By filling the DBD reactor with Pd/Al2O3 catalyst the CO2 selectivity was significantly enha...
