Abstract
Results of the investigation of decomposition of fluorohydrocarbons C2H2F4 (HFC-134a) and CHClF2 (CFC-22) in atmospheric-pressure flowing air using a coaxial-line-based microwave torch plasma are presented. Concentrations of the fluorohydrocarbons in the flowing air were up to 10 %. The decomposition efficiency of both C2H2F4 and CHClF2 was almost 100 %. This suggests the coaxial-line-based microwave torch plasma can be a useful tool for decomposition of highly-concentrated fluorohydrocarbons in air at atmospheric pressure.
