Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of waste gas purification technology, and in particular to a deodorization system and process for waste gas treatment. Background Technology
[0002] Malodorous substances are gaseous pollutants that irritate the human olfactory organs, causing unpleasant or harmful sensations and damaging the environment. The sources of malodorous substances include domestic and industrial sources. Typical malodorous gases include hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, diamines, and ammonia.
[0003] Odor gas purification technologies can be categorized into biological methods, adsorption methods, absorption methods, combustion methods, and low-temperature plasma methods based on their removal mechanisms. Each of these methods—biological, adsorption, absorption, and combustion—has its own limitations, including limited treatment efficiency, high operating costs, susceptibility to secondary pollution, and complex operation and maintenance.
[0004] In recent years, low-temperature plasma technology has been widely used as an emerging waste gas treatment technology. Its basic principle is to use a high-voltage electric field to ionize the gas, generating high-energy electrons, free radicals and other active particles. These active particles interact with pollutants in the waste gas, causing the pollutant molecules to decompose in a very short time.
[0005] Traditional plasma technology produces low-density active particles, which affects the equipment's purification efficiency for waste gas. Higher-density active particles can collide and react with pollutant molecules more frequently and effectively, thereby achieving a higher removal rate in a shorter time. Summary of the Invention

The dielectric layer of the reaction component is coated with a special catalyst layer, and the generated plasma density is much higher than that of traditional technology, which greatly improves the removal rate of malodorous substances and produces no wastewater or large amounts of hazardous waste.
