Sulfur Dioxide Conversion under Corona Discharge Catalysis

摘要

Synthetic flue gas was exposed to ultraviolet radiation and to a corona discharge in laboratory type reactors and the efficiency of SO2 oxidation to SO3 for each of these methods was compared. For the conditions studied, corona treatment appeared to be superior to ultraviolet, showing efficiencies of 300 and 1470 cu. cm of the flue gas per watt hour for SO2 conversions of 99.5 and 75%, respectively.
