Effect of air and oxygen content on the dielectric barrier discharge decomposition of chlorobenzene

Experiments were performed on the plasma-assisted decomposition of dilute concentrations of chlorobenzene in air/oxygen and argon/oxygen gas mixtures at atmospheric pressure using a coaxial geometry single dielectric barrier discharge for different oxygen concentrations and energy densities. The res...

Description
Summary:Experiments were performed on the plasma-assisted decomposition of dilute concentrations of chlorobenzene in air/oxygen and argon/oxygen gas mixtures at atmospheric pressure using a coaxial geometry single dielectric barrier discharge for different oxygen concentrations and energy densities. The results show that the decomposition process requires higher energy densities using air mixtures compared to argon/oxygen mixtures and is not linearly dependent on the oxygen content for a given energy density. The main decomposition products detected in the offgas were carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.
