NO, SO, and carbonaceous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are extremely harmful to the environment, and their concentrations must be within the limits prescribed by the region-specific pollution control boards. Thus, NO, SO, and VOC abatement is essential to safeguard the environment. Considering the importance of NO, SO, and VOC abatement, the discussion on selective catalytic reduction, oxidation, redox methods, and adsorption using noble metal and non-noble metal-based catalytic approaches were elaborated. This article covers different thermal treatment techniques, category of materials as catalysts, and its structure-property insights along with the advanced oxidation processes and adsorption. The defect engineered catalysts with lattice oxygen vacancies, bi- and tri-metallic noble metal catalysts and non-noble metal catalysts, modified metal organic frameworks, mixed-metal oxide supports, and their mechanisms have been thoroughly reviewed. The main hurdles and potential achievements in developing novel simultaneous NO, SO, and VOC removal technologies are critically discussed to envisage the future directions. This review highlights the removal of NO, SO, and VOC through material selection, properties, and mechanisms to further improve the existing abatement methods in an efficient way.

The practical utility of activated carbon/titanium dioxide (AC/TiO) composite has been investigated for the abatement of a common aromatic volatile organic compound (VOC), toluene. The adsorption and photocatalytic performance of the prepared AC/TiO composites (ACT-x: x as the theoretical mass ratio (in percent) of AC over TiO ranging from 0% to 10%) is evaluated individually against gaseous toluene using a packed flow tube reactor under varying operational conditions (e.g.

The removal of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) from air was investigated in two similar biotrickling filters (BTFs) packed with polyurethane (PU) foam, differing in terms of inoculation procedure (BTF A was packed with pre-incubated PU discs, and BTF B was inoculated via the continuous recirculation of a liquid inoculum). The effects of white rot fungi enzyme extract addition and system responses to variable VOC loading, liquid trickling patterns, and pH were studied. Positive effects of both packing incubation and enzyme addition on biotrickling filtration performance were identified.

Satellite-based formaldehyde（HCHO）columns and tropospheric nitrogen dioxide columns were observed using the Ozone Monitoring Instrument（OMI），and groundbased observations of ozone（O）for May-August from 2013 to 2022 were connected to calculate the threshold values of the HCHO to NO ratio（FNR）in Shanxi Province. Then，the spatiotemporal distributions and variations in summertime ozone photochemical production regimes were analyzed. The results showed that：① The volatile organic compound（VOC） -sensitive regime area（FNR < 2.

Catalytic destruction is an ascendant technology for the abatement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) originating from solvent-based industrial processes. The varied composition tends to influence each VOC's catalytic behavior in the reaction mixture. We investigated the catalytic destruction of multi-component VOCs including dichloromethane (DCM) and ethyl acetate (EA), as representatives from pharmaceutical waste gases, over co-supported HPO-RuO/CeO catalyst.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted into the atmosphere negatively affect the environment and human health. Biotrickling filtration, an effective technology for treating VOC-laden waste gases, faces challenges in removing hydrophobic VOCs due to their low water solubility and therefore limited bioavailability to microorganisms. Consequently, the addition of (bio)surfactants has proven to be a promising strategy to enhance the removal of hydrophobic VOCs in biotrickling filters (BTFs).
