Abstract:
Sulfuryl fluoride(SO
2F
2) is a commonly used fumigant pesticide. However, it has a strong greenhouse effect, and there is currently no pertinent means to treat its waste gas; meanwhile, random emissions will cause great harm to the atmosphere. Dielectric barrier discharge(DBD) low temperature plasma technology is a good method for gas pollutant treatment, and the addition of gas can effectively improve its treatment effect. In this paper, the effect of adding H
2O and H
2 on degradation of SO
2F
2 by DBD was investigated based on the non-themal plasma(NTP) technology. It is found that NTP has significant advantages in synergistic reactive gas degradation of SO
2F
2. The addition of H
2O and H
2 can significantly promote the degradation of SO
2F
2. For 2% SO
2F
2, when the concentration of H
2O or H
2 is 1%, the degradation rate reaches the maximum value of 86.26% and 80.29%, respectively, while the excess H
2O and H
2 will limit the degradation. With the addition of H
2O and H
2, the main gas degradation products are SO
2, SOF
2, and HF, and the H
2 system will also generate solid S element. The higher the H
2 concentration is, the more obvious S elemental generation will be. In the meantime, a small amount of S element will be further reduced to form H
2S, which is not conducive to the degradation of exhaust gas treatment. The results of this study can provide theoretical support for the harmless degradation of SO
2F
2 waste gas.
