In this study, the catalyst FeOOH/gamma-Al2O3 was used in a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma-catalysis system for toluene degradation, and its catalytic performance and mechanism were investigated. The plasma-FeOOH/gamma-Al2O3 system showed significantly improved efficiency, energy yield, and selectivity compared to the plasma-only process. The decrease in ozone concentration in the plasma-FeOOH/gamma-Al2O3 system indicated the important role of ozone catalytic process in toluene degradation. The optimization of process parameters revealed that oxygen content in the background gas was the most significant factor affecting degradation efficiency of toluene.
In the present study, FeOOH/gamma-Al2O3 catalyst was first introduced into dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma-catalysis system for toluene degradation, and its catalytic performance and mechanism were studied. It was found that the toluene degradation efficiency, energy yield (EY), and COx selectivity were significantly improved in the plasma-FeOOH/gamma-Al2O3 system by comparison to the plasma-only process. The ozone concentration detected in this study decreased significantly in plasma-FeOOH/gamma-Al2O3 system, which could be concluded that the ozone catalytic process played an important role in the plasma-FeOOH/gamma-Al2O3 system for toluene degradation. The toluene and intermediates adsorbed on the surface FeOOH catalysts could react with O* from O-3 decomposition and O-ads derived from oxygen vacancies, which was conducive to an improved degradation and mineralization performance. Besides, the transformation of O-3 to center dot OH on FeOOH surface was considered as one of the main mechanisms for enhancing toluene degradation when the relative humidity of the background gas was increased from 30% to 50%. The key process parameters, including specific energy input (SEI), catalyst loading, and oxygen content of the background gas, were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM) integrated Box-Behnken design (BBD). The results showed that oxygen content of the background gas was the most significant factor affecting the degradation efficiency of toluene, while energy yield was mainly determined by SEI. The possible toluene degradation pathways in plasma-FeOOH/gamma-Al2O3 system were proposed according to the identification of intermediates using GC-MS.
