- Abstract
- The present work depicts results acquired from a chemical model and validated by a set of experiments on the treatment of acetone-polluted water by a non-thermal plasma technique. Results reveal the formation of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, a combination of gases better known as syngas, which were then clarified with a chemical kinetic model. From this model, the influence of hydroxyl radicals is highlighted by extraordinary reactivity during the acetone treatment and its conversion to syngas (CO+H2). This study proposes a low energy density non-thermal plasma technique to depollute wastewater containing different levels of acetone.
