The removal characteristics of No, SOx for plasma reactor separated flue gas duct from discharge domain

연소가스관로와 방전영역 분리형 플라즈마 반응기에서 Nox, SOx 제거특성

In this paper, discharge domain of wire-cylindrical plasma reactor was separated from a gas flow duct to avoid unstable discharge by aerosol particle deposited on discharge electrode and grounded electrode. The NOx, SOx removal was experimentally investigated by a reaction induced to ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate using a low price of aqueous NaOH solution and a small quantity of ammonia. Volume percentage of aqueous NaOH solution used was 20% and $N_2$ flow rate was 2.5[$\ell$/min] for bubbling aqueous NaOH solution. Ammonia gas(14.82%) balanced by argon was diluted by air and was introduced to a main simulated flue gas duct through $NH_3$ injection system which was in downstream of reactor. The $NH_3$ molecular ratio[MR] was determined based on $NH_3$ to [NO+$SO_2$]. MR is 1.5. The NOx removal rates increased in the order of DC, AC and pulse, but SOx removal rates was not significantly effected by source of electricity. The NOx removal rate slightly decreased with increasing initial concentration but SOx removal rate was not significantly effect by initial concentration, and NOx, SOx removal rates decreased with increasing gas flow rate.
