Non-Thermal Plasmas as Gas-Phase Advance Oxidation Processes
Abstract
Non-thermal plasmas are useful for generating reactive species (free radicals) in a gas stream. Because radical-attack reaction rate constants are very large for many chemical species, entrained pollutants are readily decomposed by radicals. Such plasmas can generate both oxidative and reductive radicals; therefore, they show promise for treating a wide variety of pollutants.
