Laboratory Studies of Nitrogen Oxide Removal by Pulsed Streamer Corona
Abstract
Pulsed streamer corona treatment is an advanced oxidation technology using a non thermal plasma that produces hydroxyl radicals, hydrogen peroxide, and aqueous electrons, all of which react with water-borne organic contaminants in the removal process. Pulsed streamer corona is an electrical discharge created by applying a continual series of sustainable, short lived, high voltage pulses to a smaller diameter metallic electrode. This discharge creates an electric field between a point-to-plane electrode geometry within a batch reactor containing organic contaminants in deionized water. This process is applied to the removal of nitrogen oxides. This research documents the reactions and reaction products that are produced in the pulsed streamer corona reactor and the optimization of the pulsed streamer corona reactor process for this purpose.
