Nox Removal Efficiency

In this paper, an experimental setup was established to study the influence of potassium chloride (KCL) solution as the ground electrode on the nitrogen oxides (NOx) removal efficiency in non-thermal plasma (NTP) generated by dielectric barrier discharging (DBD) reactor. The experimental results show that the KCL solution as the ground electrode has better stability and higher discharge intensity and it is a promising approach to improve NOx removal efficiency. The specific NOx removal efficiency is related to the power frequency, the concentration and temperature of the KCL solution. As the power frequency increases, the NOx removal efficiency first increases and then decreases, and a maximum value is reached at the power frequency of 8 kHz. The NO removal effect is improved as the concentration of the KCL solution increases, especially when the concentration is lower than 0.1 mol/L. Under the same KCL solution concentration and input energy density, the NOx removal efficiency is increased with the solution temperature. In particular, when the power discharge frequency is 8 kHz, the KCL solution concentration is 0.1 mol/L and the solution temperature is 60 °C, the NOx and NO removal efficiency reach 85.82% and 100%, respectively.

The present study attempts to take nitric acid as absorbent to clean up SO2 and NO gases simultaneously from the simulated flue gas in the lab-scale bubbling reactor, this study was divide into the individual DeNOx experiments and the combined DeSOx/DeNOx experiments: the individual DeNOx experiments were carried out to examine the effect of various operating parameters such as input NO concentration, nitric acid concentration, oxygen concentration input SO2 concentration, adding KMnO4 as additive and taking NaOH as the secondary absorption processes on the SO2 and NOx removal efficiencies at room temperature, the results of the individual DeNOx show that NO removal efficiency of 70%–95% were achieved under optimized conditions. NO removal efficiency increased with the increasing nitric acid concentration and increased by adding KMnO4 into the absorbent as additive as well. The removal efficiency of NO can reach 95% when using the two-step integrated processes of (HNO3+KMnO4)-NaOH, the absorption solution of 50% nitric acid, 400ppm of input NO concentration. 0.5% oxygen concentration and without SO2 in the simulated flue gas. No improvement on the NOx removal efficiency was observed with the increasing of KMnO4 and NaOH concentration in the scrubbing solution. The results of the combined DeSOx/DeNOx experiments show that the maximum DeNOx and DeSOx efficiencies ranged from 36.6% to 81% and from 99.4% to 100.0%, respectively. The prime parameters affecting the NOx removal efficiency are the oxygen concentration and the input SO2 concentration.

Nano-catalyst was prepared in the lab. Non-thermal plasma was generated by dielectric barrier discharge (DBD). Through nano-catalyst coupled with non-thermal plasma, a series of experiments for toluene decomposition were carried out. Based on reactor input energy density and removal efficiency and energy efficiency and inhibition for O3 formation, the load amount MnOx catalyst on the surface of γ-Al2O3 pellets were compared in the experiment. The results show the catalysis performance of 10 wt% MnOx/γ-Al2O3 coupled with non-thermal plasma resulted in higher removal efficiency of toluene and better energy efficiency. At the same time, 10 wt% MnOx/γ-Al2O3 operated on a better inhibition for O3 formation in the gas exhaust.

Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) could generate non-thermal plasma (NTP) with the advantage of fast reactivity and high energy under atmosphere pressure and low-temperature. The presented work investigated the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitric oxide (NO) using a combination of NTP and an Mn-Cu/ZSM5 catalyst with ammonia (NH3) as a reductant. The experimental results illustrate that the plasma-assisted SCR process enhances the low-temperature catalytic performance of the Mn-Cu/ZSM5 catalyst significantly, and it exhibits an obvious improvement in the NO removal efficiency. The reaction temperature is maintained at 200 °C in order to simulate the exhaust temperature of diesel engine, and the 10% Mn-8% Cu/ZSM5 catalyst shows the highest NO removal performance with about 93.89% at an energy density of 500 J L−1 and the selectivity to N2 is almost 99%. The voltage, frequency and energy density have a positive correlation to NO removal efficiency, which is positively correlated with the power of NTP system. In contrast, the O2 concentration has a negative correlation to the NO removal, and the NO removal efficiency cannot be improved when the NO removal process reaches reaction equilibrium in the NTP system.

AbstractNon-thermal plasma (NTP) is a promising technology for the improvement of indoor air quality (IAQ) by removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) through advanced oxidation process (AOP). In this paper, authors developed a laboratory scale dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor which generates atmospheric NTP to study the removal of low-concentration formaldehyde (HCHO), a typical indoor air VOC in the built environment associated with cancer and leukemia, under different processing conditions. Strong ionization NTP was generated between the DBD electrodes by a pulse power zero-voltage switching flyback transformer (ZVS-FBT), which caused ionization of air molecules leading to active species formation to convert HCHO into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O). The impact of key electrical and physical processing parameters i.e. discharge power (P), initial concentration (Cin), flow rate (F), and relative humidity (RH) which affect the formaldehyde removal efficiency (ɳ) were studied to determine optimum conditions. Results show that, the correlation coefficient (R2) of removal efficiency dependence on the processing parameters follow the order R2 (F) = 0.99 > R2 (RH) = 0.96, > R2 (Cin) = 0.94 > R2 (P) = 0.93. The removal efficiency reached 99% under the optimum conditions of P = 0.6 W, Cin = 0.1 ppm, F = 0.2 m3/h, and RH = 65% with no secondary pollution. The study provided a theoretical and experimental basis for the application of DBD plasma for air purification in the built environment.
