Abstract

Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) is one of the most common air pollutants emitted from industries like Chemical, Petrochemical, as well as when plastics are burned. It is very harmful to our environment which affects climate change, the life cycle of plants, and the health of all living beings. So, it is necessary to control its emission for improvement of air quality which is beneficial to the indoor environment. The objective of the study is to review the performance of different activated carbon-based air filters. Various activated carbon-based techniques are the use of coconut shells, photocatalyst TiO2, Polystyrene foam, sorption-type, and granular activated carbon. Several aldehydes and ketones have been removed effectively using activated coconut shell. Removal of nitrogen oxide was possible by using TiO2-based activated carbon. It is observed from this study that activated carbon-based techniques are effective for the removal of VOCs and enhancing the indoor air quality.
