In　this　study,　the　abatement　of　benzene　in　a　dielectric　barrier　discharge　(DBD)　reactor　was　studied.　The　efficiency　was　investigated　in　terms　of　benzene　conversion　and　product　formation.　The　composition　of　gas-liquid-solid　three-phase　product　produced　during　degradation　was　observed　by　GC-MS.　Under　the　optimalSED,　the　solid-phase　product　was　analyzed　by　FT-IR,　SEM,　and　EDS.　The　results　suggested　that　the　product　were　mainly　benzonitriles,　benzenedicarbonitrile,　phenols,　esters,　and　amides.　The　wt%　of　C　in　product　decreased　asSEDincreased,　demonstrating　that　the　high　discharge　voltage　facilitated　the　conversion　of　VOCs　to　gaseous　intermediate　product　and　CO2.　Possible　degradation　mechanism　and　pathways　of　benzene　destruction　in　the　DBD　reactor　were　proposed.
