In this investigation, a stream containing nitric oxide has been subjected to intense electric fields in the presence of catalysts. The work has been conducted in two phases. In the first phase catalysts tested included steel, stainless steel, and gold plated stainless steel wools. The effect of parameters such as inlet nitric oxide concentration, oxygen and water vapor content, gas residence time and temperature on NO reduction have been studied. In the second phase, the effect of non-conducting materials such as glass wool as a catalyst on NO reduction has been investigated. Experiments were also conducted with no catalyst to study the advantage of catalyst use.
