This project concerns the development and demonstration of the commercial feasibility of a novel, energy efficient technology for the destruction of hazardous pollutants (e.g. volatile organic compounds) in waste gas streams that is based on the use of atmospheric pressure, non-thermal plasma discharges. In particular, previously we have shown that a certain configuration of plasma reactors produces an unexpected and significant enhancement in destruction efficiency. In this project, we will investigate the origins of that effect in order to gain a fundamental understanding of the processes involved. In this way, we aim to optimise the design and configuration to produce effective destruction at an energy cost that is competitive with other remediation technologies. The expertise gained in the previous EPSRC project combining plasma discharges with catalysts will be valuable in optimising the process. The market drivers for the project will be informed by interactions with a University spin-out company, Plasma Clean Ltd, who may take on responsibility for the ultimate exploitation of the technology upon it meeting commercially viable performance targets.

该项目涉及开发和论证一种新的、节能的技术，用于销毁废气中的危险污染物(例如挥发性有机化合物)的商业可行性，该技术基于使用常压、非热等离子体放电。特别是，我们以前已经证明，某种配置的等离子体反应堆在销毁效率方面会产生意想不到的显著提高。在这个项目中，我们将调查这种效应的起源，以便对涉及的过程有一个基本的了解。通过这种方式，我们的目标是优化设计和配置，以与其他补救技术竞争的能源成本产生有效的销毁。在以前的EPSRC项目中获得的将等离子体放电与催化剂相结合的专业知识将对优化工艺有价值。该项目的市场驱动力将通过与大学衍生公司等离子体清洁有限公司的互动来了解，该公司可能会在该技术达到商业上可行的性能目标后承担最终开发该技术的责任。
