Reactor Model - Data Comparison for Gas Phase Pollutant Removal in a Pulsed Streamer Corona Reactor
Abstract
Pulsed streamer corona technology is based on the application of a high electric potential between two electrodes of inhomogeneous geometry to produce charged species in a plasma. In this study, a pulsed corona discharge produced in a wire-cylinder geometry is utilized to remove gaseous pollutants such as NO, NO2, and Halon-1211. The present study also focuses on the degradation of Halon-1211 for a range of voltages, reactor residence times, and power densities in a mixture of synthetic air. Up to 95% of 1000 ppm of Halon was obtained. A mathematical model describing the gas phase kinetics with neutral species has been developed. The present study brings out the fact that it is possible to develop a simple reactor mode for describing non-thermal plasma systems.
