Abstract:
A practical-scale sandwich-type honeycomb catalyst reactor incorporating non-thermal plasma was developed for the high-throughput removal of isopropanol (IPA) from air. The Pd/?-Al2O3/honeycomb catalyst was fabricated by coating a cordierite monolith with ?-alumina powder on which to support the palladium (Pd). The supported catalyst showed good activity and the combination of the honeycomb structure with plasma produced a uniform plasma inside the catalyst chamber. The influence of different parameters, including the energy density (SIE), humidity, initial concentration, and flow rate, on the plasma characteristics and IPA removal efficiency was investigated. The results showed that the SIE has the strongest effect on the IPA removal efficiency. The efficiency of IPA removal was 94.5% and the CO2 selectivity was 85% for an SIE of 180 J/L. Using optical emission spectroscopy, we found that the increased formation of atomic oxygen and reactive species plays an essential role in the oxidation of IPA by plasma catalysis. The main byproducts were identified by GC-MS, which indicated that acetone is the major liquid product. A plausible reaction mechanism for the plasma-catalytic oxidation of IPA is proposed based on the intermediates and byproducts.
