Pulsed Streamer Corona Reactor Characterization - Phase II

Abstract

The performance of a pulsed streamer corona reactor has been studied to determine the effects of gas composition on nitrogen oxide removal. Experimental studies with a range of gas compositions indicate that additives such as ethylene and water vapor have large effects on nitrogen oxide removal, however, carbon monoxide has no effect. Analysis of byproducts indicate the formation of carbon dioxide and formic acid. Reactor kinetic modeling shows reasonable agreement with experiments and predicts that the reaction rate constants for electron collisions with nitrogen and oxygen are linear functions of the applied electric field.
