Removal of acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) and ammonia (NH3), which is the main odor components in cigarette smoke, was investigated using two different types of nonthermal plasma reactors. One is the barrier-type packed-bed plasma reactor (BPPR), the other is the barrier-type multi-layer plasma reactor (BMPR). As the experimental results using the BPPR, more than 95% of CH3CHO removal efficiency was obtained under dry air environment. As for NH3 removal, almost 100% removal efficiency was obtained with negligible reaction byproducts in dry air. On the other hand, approximately 90% of CH3CHO and 100% of NH3 removal efficiency was obtained using the BMPR with 33 W. As the experimental results of the removal of the real cigarette smoke, NH3 was completely removed. However, removal of CH3CHO was somewhat difficult because of its low concentration and the co-existence of other constituents.
