Abstract

In this study, $SO_2$ and $NO_2$ reduction have been investigated by using coil type plasma reactor. The experiments have been carried out changing discharge power, gas flow rate frequency and electrode style to obtain the decomposition rate. Decomposition rates of $SO_2$ and $NO_2$ were obtained 20~98% at gas flow rate 100ml/min~1,000ml/min and discharge power 5~25w respectively. The energy efficiency is very good at the high frequency power. The decomposition rate of $SO_2$ for 5kHz power supply is only 90%, but for 10kHz power supply is very high, more than 98% for 15w. The decomposition rate is increasing according to the residence time or the power consumption of the discharge. About 15W discharge power for 17$cm^2$ reactor is necessary to obtain the decomposition rate of $SO_2$ and $NO_2$ of more than 85% or 98%. From these experiments, the consumption power of the decomposition rate of 98% in 300ppm $NO_2$ gas in nitrogen gas proved to be 18W and 300ppm $SO_2$ gas to be 15w.
