Control of tobacco smoke and odors using discharge plasma reactor

Contamination of indoor environment relating to the Sick-Building Syndrome has been attracting a great deal of attention recently. Tobacco smoke components are representative of a wide range of pollutants found in indoor air. There is a strong needs of keeping indoor air clean, so an experimental study on the removal of indoor air pollutants has been carried out using three types (dry, semi-wet, wet) of plasma reactor and power source (AC 60Hz, AC 18kHz, square wave pulse). The wet type plasma process is proved to be an efficient means for cleaning of indoor air.
