AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON REMOVAL OF NOX IN FLUE GAS AT THE NONEQUILIBRIUM PLASMA

Removal of nitrogen oxides (NO X) in flue gas by means of nonequilibrium plasma technology is a very prospect and attractive method. As the nonequilibrium plasma micro discharges can generate a powerful energy flux, imparted to the flue gas, the molecules and atoms of pollutants are motivated and decomposed, and then NO X in the flue gas are decomposed and conversed in the particular conditions. Based on nonequilibrium plasma in combination with catalytic principle, an experimental investigation on NO X decomposition and conversion with Al 2O 3 catalysts was carried out and the NO X removal rate up to 95% was obtained. The NO X decomposition and conversion principle with Al 2O 3 catalysts was also discussed.
