The bench-scale test of toluene removal is carried out using the surface discharge and an adsorbent with gas circulation. The liquid toluene is vaporized in the circulation line, and the toluene gas is adsorbed by the adsorbent. The hydrophobic zeolite pellet is used as an adsorbent. After the toluene adsorption, ozone caused by surface discharge is supplied to the adsorbent and adsorbed toluene is decomposed. Because the gas is circulated during toluene decomposition, ozone is used to decompose toluene effectively without waste. As a result, most of toluene is converted to COx successfully. The amount of CO_2 generation is larger than that of CO.
