Conversion of emitted dimethyl sulfide into eco-friendly species using low-temperature atmospheric argon micro-plasma system

► Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) was fully decomposed by two-electrode Ar micro-plasma. ► The reaction of DMS/Ar resulted in forming solid compound and gaseous product. ► The C-, H- and S-containing solid compound was fixed on the quartz inner tube. ► The H2-, CS2-, and H2S-gaseous products were possibly recyclable and trapped. ► The dissociation mechanism and treatment efficiency of DMS were also discussed.
