Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
CF is commonly used in semiconductor industries, and its removal requires a large amount of energy because it is a highly stable perfluorinated compound. In this study, a rotating arc-catalytic reactor that uses thermal plasma as the heat source for catalysts is introduced as an efficient method for CF removal. An AC rotating arc plasma was used with the catalyst for CF removal, and the plasma and catalyst were configured serially in this reactor. Destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of CF and the energy efficiency of the removal process were experimentally investigated in the input power range of 2–3 kW and a steam-to-CF molar ratio of up to 20. The obtained results suggest that the DRE of CF was up to 98% and the energy efficiency was as high as 36.1 g/kWh, which is approximately 3.5 times higher than that obtained using a rotating arc reactor alone. In addition, the thermal efficiency was estimated to be approximately 67%, based on the temperatures of the inlet and outlet gases of the rotating arc-catalytic reactor. Thus, further improvement in the performance can be expected through subsequent thermal management and system optimization. These results confirm that using rotating arc-catalytic reactors is an energy-efficient strategy for application as scrubber systems to remove CF.
