The toluene removal efficiency was 60.1% in the EB-only system at a dose of 8.7 kGy. In the presence of the metal catalysts (Pt, Pd, Cu and Mn), the removal efficiency was enhanced by 37, 33, 6 and 22%, respectively, compared to that of EB-only treatment. It was found that the selectivity to CO2 with Pt and Pd coupling were relatively higher than those of Cu and Mn. Especially the CO2 selectivity of EB-Pt coupling was significantly high at a relatively low absorbed dose. The removal efficiencies were compared for loading of catalyst and there was no significant difference among 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 wt%.", pages = "863-870(8)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/vsp/rci/2008/00000034/F0020008/art00027" doi = "doi:10.1163/156856708786189203" }
