Adsorption-plasma catalysis for removal of toluene from dry air using 13X-zeolite packed bed DBD reactor
Résumé
A packed bed dielectric barrier discharge reactor filled with 13X-zeolite/glass beads was investigated for the removal of toluene from dry air by adsorption-plasma catalysis. The amount of adsorbed toluene on 13X-zeolite depends on the activation method used, namely, thermally activated or plasma activated. A complete regeneration of toluene saturated 13X-zeolite by non-thermal plasma was demonstrated and the adsorption capacity of plasma regenerated 13X-zeolite is improved by 15% and 41% when compared to the plasma and thermally activated fresh zeolite, respectively. The total toluene adsorption capacity of 13X-zeolite is improved by metal loading (VxOy).
