NOx Destruction in Air and Nitrogen by Dielectric Barrier Corona Discharge

Abstract

Corona discharge is an emerging non-catalytic technology for control of VOCs and NO x emissions from stationary (such as coal-fired power plants, utility boilers, incinerators, etc.) and mobile (diesel and gasoline vehicles) sources. This work is an experimental study on the kinetics of NO x destruction by continuous corona discharge plasma. Reaction products, effects of ammonia addition and electric power requirements were determined
