A Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma is shown in the present investigation to be effective of phenol degradation in
the aqueous solutions in batch reactor with continuous air bubbling. Removal of phenol and effects of various parameters on the removal efficiency in the aqueous solution with high-voltage streamer discharge plasma are studied. The effect of 1st voltage (80 ～ 220 V), air flow rate (3 ～ 7 L/min), pH (3 ～ 11), electric conductivity of solution (4.16 μS/cm, deionized
water) ～16.57 mS/cm (addition of NaCl 10 g/L) and initial phenol concentration (2.5 ～20.0 mg/L) were investigated. The
observed results showed that phenol degradation was higher in the basic solution than that of the acidic. The optimum values on the 1st voltage and air flow rate for phenol degradation were 140 V and 6 L/min, respectively. It was considered that absorbance variation of UV254 of phenol solution can be use as an indirect indicator of change of the non-biodegradable organic compounds within the treated phenol solution. Electric conductivity was not influenced the phenol degradation. To obtain the removal efficiency of phenol and COD of phenol over 97 % (initial phenol concentration, 10.0 mg/L), 80 min and 120 min were need, respectively. Phenol and COD degradation showed a pseudo-first order kinetics.
