NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Non-Thermal Plasma Techniques for Pollution Control Held in England on September 21 - 25, 1992. Program and Abstracts
Abstract
Acid rain, global warming, ozone depletion, and smog are preeminent environmental problems facing the world today. Non-thermal plaama techniques offer an innovative approach to the cost-effective solution of these problems. Many potential applications of non-thermal plasmas to air pollution control have already been demonstrated. On Sept. 21-25, 1992 leading experts met at Cambridge University, England, to discuss laboratory studies and industrial implementations of non-thermal plasmas for the abatement of hazardous gaseous wastes. Well-understood conventional technologies do exist for the treatment of some of these toxic gases, but they have practical limitations imposed by cost, energy requirements and by-product disposal. Non-thermal plasma techniques offer the advantages of energy efficiency and the capability for the simultaneous removal of coexisting pollutants.
