Description
Abstract
Various technologies such as absorption, adsorption, incineration, biofiltration and advanced oxidation have been developed to treat air pollutants. However, these methods have some limitations such as a high pressure drop, short lifespan, large site, economics and formation of secondary pollutants. To solve these problems, recently, advanced oxidation processes have been studied. An electron beam (EB) technology is one of the most promising advanced technologies due to its special characteristics. The EB technologies for volatile organic and odorous compounds treatment are introduced in this paper. The removal efficiency of these compounds by an EB processing is discussed in diverse conditions, such as different initial concentrations, background gases, absorbed doses, relative humidities, etc. Furthermore, the characteristics and effects on new EB hybrid technologies designed to overcome problems of only EB system are reviewed. In additional, the limitations and potentials of EB technology for air pollution treatment are also discussed.
