Abstract

The effects of gas compositions and reaction conditions on NO conversion by positive streamer discharge were experimentally investigated by using a link tooth wheel-cylinder reactor. The results showed that NO conversion increased with increasing O2 concentration and NH3 concentration, but decreased with increasing inlet NO concentration and gas flow rate. The addition of CO2 or H2O to the feed gas promoted NO conversion by increasing the maximum discharge voltage, and NH 4NO3 was formed in the presence of NH3. There was a most suitable range interval between discharge tooth wheels if both NO conversion and energy consumption were considered. Increasing applied voltage resulted in the increase in the amount of O3 generated by streamer discharge.
