Plasma catalysis has a wide range of applications in various industries. Some of the key areas include:
- Environmental Protection: It is used for the removal of pollutants such as NOx, SOx, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from industrial emissions and exhaust gases. Plasma catalysis can convert these harmful substances into less toxic compounds. - Energy Production: It plays a role in the conversion of methane to hydrogen and other valuable chemicals, which is essential for the development of clean energy technologies. Additionally, plasma catalysis is used in the synthesis of ammonia for fertilizers. - Chemical Synthesis: It facilitates the production of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals by enabling selective reactions that are difficult to achieve through conventional catalytic methods. - Waste Treatment: Plasma catalysis is employed in the treatment of wastewater and solid waste, helping to degrade organic contaminants and convert waste into useful products.
