Decomposition of Carbon Tetrachloride by a Packed Bed Plasma Reactor

G. Prieto
Abstract
In search of a technology capable of controlling atmospheric pollutants, like volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in low concentrations, this paper is concerned with the empirical modeling of a ferroelectric plasma packed-bed reactor at ambient temperature and pressure. The empirical model gives information about the decomposition efficiency of the process as a function of the reactor operating variables. The volatile organic compound selected is Carbon Tetrachloride balanced with air in the concentration-range of 150 to 600 ppm and flow-range of 175 to 325 ml/min. Regarding the decomposition efficiency as the objective function, this modeling provides valuable information about the optimal operating conditions.
