Oxidation of xylene and its irradiation byproducts using an electron-beam irradiating a $$gamma$$-Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ bed

Hakoda, Teruyuki; Matsumoto, Kanae*; Mizuno, Akira*; Hirota, Koichi

The oxidation of xylene and its irradiation byproducts in air using a $$gamma$$-Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ bed was studied under electron-beam irradiation to enhance the decomposition of volatile organic compounds in ventilation gases emitted from paint factories. The use of the $$gamma$$-Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ bed enhanced the oxidation of the irradiation byproducts to CO$$_{2}$$. Furthermore, the oxidation of the byproducts was accelerated by the placement of the $$gamma$$-Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ bed in an irradiation space, because of the interaction of primary electrons with the surface of $$gamma$$-Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ pellets. This combined oxidation process enabled a reduction in the energy consumption for non-toxic CO$$_{2}$$ formation, and improved the selectivity of CO$$_{2}$$ production.
