This paper investigated the enhancement of plasma on dimethyl sulfide (DMS) removal over commercial V-W/Ti catalysts. The effects of catalyst composition, discharge power, and gas temperature on DMS removal in the plasma-based system were analyzed. The results showed that the V0.9–W/Ti catalyst exhibited the best performance toward DMS removal due to its highest reducibility among the employed samples. The introduction of plasma exhibited a synergistic effect on catalysts and significantly enhanced the removal of DMS over the studied temperature range, especially in high discharge power cases. The activation energy Ea of DMS removal in the presence of plasma was dramatically reduced to less than 10% of the catalysis only case, indicating different DMS removal pathways in plasma-activated catalysis system. The reaction mechanisms of DMS were also discussed based on the reaction products. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
