Development of a New-type Apparatus Decomposing Volatile Organic Compounds using a Combination System of an Electrical Exothermic SiC Honeycomb and a Catalytic Filter

A new-type apparatus decomposing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using a combination system of an electrical exothermic SiC honeycomb and a catalytic filter was developed. This linear combination system is very useful to the catalytic decomposition of VOCs, because the gas involving VOCs is well h...

description A new-type apparatus decomposing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using a combination system of an electrical exothermic SiC honeycomb and a catalytic filter was developed. This linear combination system is very useful to the catalytic decomposition of VOCs, because the gas involving VOCs is well heated in the SiC honeycomb and then flows into the catalytic filter. In the proposed apparatus, the outlet gas temperatures of SiC honeycomb maintained at ca. 300°C after 5 min from the starting of applying electric current, and sufficient for the catalytic degradation of VOC components, i.e. toluene, iso-propanol, methyl ethyl ketone and ethyl acetate. The average decomposition rate of total VOCs exhausted from a printing factory was 85% using Pt catalyst at SV=19,000 in this system.
