Abstract
We have investigated processes for removal of styrene vapor from atmos pheric air (volume content 0.007-0.06%) upon exposure to UV radiation and for combined action of UV radiation and dc and pulsed corona disch arges. We have studied the dependence of the degree of purification on various parameters (flow rate, temperature, composition, pulse repeti tion frequency). We have shown that the purification rate increases wh en we combine UV radiation with the discharge. We consider a possible mechanism for the purification process.
