Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are considered as one of the toxic air pollutants generated in urban and industrial areas. The application of non-thermal electrical discharges instead of thermal energy has been shown to be a suitable alternative for the treatment of exhaust gases, especially for low concentrations (<100 ppmv) of contaminants. In the present paper, we describe the synergetic application of plasma and catalytic treatment for the oxidative removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
