Plasma-Assisted Process for Removing from Gas Streams with as Additive
Publication: Journal of Environmental Engineering
Volume 129, Issue 9
Abstract
removal from gas streams via dielectric barrier discharges (DBDs) has been experimentally evaluated. This paper investigates the effect of injecting as an additive with respect to the chemistry and the effect of gas composition on removal efficiencies. Experimental results indicate that both removal efficiencies of NO and are enhanced with increasing applied voltage, gas temperature, and water vapor. Water vapor in gas streams has a distinct influence on removal by generating OH radicals to convert to form removal decreases with increasing oxygen content although NO removal increases with increasing oxygen content. As high as 100% of NO and 57% of are removed at 140°C for the gas stream containing Major mechanisms for NO and removals in DBD processing with as an additive are described in the text.
