Removal Of Nitric Oxide From Different Mixtures Of Gases Using Dielectric Barrier Discharge

摘要

Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) is employed in this project as the processing medium to remove nitric oxide in gas stream. Gas stream containing different components was released continuously into a series of dielectric barrier discharge cells and the output gas was analyzed using a chemiluminescence's type NO analyzer. Almost complete removal (more than 99%) of NO was observed when the gas stream contained only NO and nitrogen. In the presence of SO_2, the removal rate was decreased to as low as 70%. Adding air into the stream gave a more erratic results. The removal rate was also affected by the number of DBD cell used and the flow rate of the input gas. However, In this paper, only results using 2 cells whilst varying the flow rate are presented.
