Low temperature removal of toluene over Ag/CeO2/Al2O3 nanocatalyst in an atmospheric plasma catalytic system

The efficient removal of toluene by plasma catalytic system (PCS) requires catalysts that can generate strong synergetic effect with discharge to oxidize toluene while promoting CO2 selectivity and suppressing the formation of harmful byproducts. We report that application of an Ag/CeO2/Al2O3 catalyst into PCS enables high conversion of toluene to CO2 and H2O with the low concentration of ozone and nitrogen oxides. The Ag nanoparticles dispersed on CeO2 surface transforms the filamentary discharge to a relatively uniform discharge with high?efficiency, facilitates surface oxygen activation and organic intermediates oxidation, thus, enhances toluene removal efficiency. At 1800?J?L?1, toluene conversion and CO2 selectivity reached maximum at 93% and 71%, respectively, whereas the removal process exhibited a good stability during a 5?h test.
