Catalytic oxidation of vapor phase PCDD/Fs (polychlorinated dibenzo‐p‐dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans) by V 2 O 5 ‐WO 3 /TiO 2 catalyst at low temperature (180°C) was studied. An innovative PCDD/Fs generating system was designed to supply stable gaseous PCDD/Fs steam with initial concentration of 5.60 ng I‐TEQ Nm −3 . The effects of Gas Hourly Space Velocity (GHSV), water vapor content and sulphur‐dioxide (SO 2 ) concentration on catalytic oxidation were investigated. The destruction efficiency (DE) reaches a maximum value of 76.4% with a GHSV value of 2000 h −1 . In the presence of water vapor, there are almost no changes for the RE values of PCDD/Fs. Water vapor negatively affects the destruction of PCDD/Fs. However, when 3 vol % of water vapor is introduced into the reaction system, even more PCDD/Fs are destroyed compared with the absence of water vapor. SO 2 can inhibit the destruction of PCDD/Fs by poisoning catalyst. With SO 2 concentration increasing from 0 to 250 ppm, DE value of PCDD/Fs significantly decreases from 68.6% to 38.8%. © 2016 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 35: 1265–1273, 2016
