Title: NO{sub x} reduction by compact electron beam processing

Abstract

Among the new methods being investigated for the post-combustion removal of nitrogen oxides (NO{sub x}) are based on non-thermal plasmas. These plasmas can be produced by electrical discharge methods or electron beam irradiation. The application of electron beam irradiation for NO{sub x} removal in power plant flue gases has been investigated since the early 1970`s in both laboratory- and pilot-scale experiments. Electrical discharge methods are relatively new entrants in the field of flue gas cleanup. Pulsed corona and dielectric-barrier discharge techniques are two of the more commonly used electrical discharge methods for producing nonthermal plasmas at atmospheric pressure. There are basically two types of reactions responsible for the depletion of NO by non-thermal plasmas: oxidation and reduction.
