A core-shell structured crystalline@amorphous MnO with enhanced plasma catalytic degradation performance for volatile organic sulfur compounds and degradation mechanism exploration.

A crystalline@amorphous MnO (HT@RT) plasma catalyst was successfully constructed in this study to address the problem of odor pollution, especially from volatile organic sulfur compounds (VOSCs) with low olfactory thresholds. Complete conversion of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) at 140 J/L was achieved, and the ozone concentration in the exhaust gas was maintained below 5 ppm. Deeper mineralization of DMS was achieved in the HT@RT sample than in the individual HT and RT samples.

Enhanced Removal Performance and Economical Efficiency of Volatile Organic Sulfur Compounds by Silver-Modified ZSM-5 Zeolites under a High-Humidity Environment: A Mechanistic Study of the Adsorption-Plasma Catalytic Process.

Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) is a harmful volatile organic sulfur compound (VOSC), which must be effectively controlled. The adsorption-plasma catalytic (APC) process is an efficient and economical route for the elimination of low-concentration VOSCs; however, there are still many challenges in humid environment. In this study, a series of zeolites with different Si/Al ratios and Ag loadings were designed, and were performed for DMS removal by APC process.
