NO_x 제거용 저온 플라즈마 반응기에서의 플라즈마 화학 및 입자 성장

The Plasma Chemistry and Particle Growth in the Low Temperature Plasma Reactor for removal of NO_x

We analyzed theoretically the removal efficiency and the particle growth inside the pulse corona discharge reactor to remove $NO_x$ and investigated the effects of process variables such as the NO and $NH_3$ input concentrations. Most of NO is converted into $NO_2$ and $HNO_3$ and the $HNO_3$ reacts with $NH_3$ to form the $NH_4NO_3$ particles. About 6.4% of NO is converted into $HNO_2$ which form the $NH_4NO_2$ particles by reaction with $NH_3$. Some of $NO_2$ follows the reaction pathway to form $NO_3$ and $N_2O_5$. The amount of particles formed inside the reactor is basically determined by the input $NH_3$ concentration. The ratio of NO to $NH_3$ affects the reactor length for particle formation significantly. The higher the input concentrations of NO and $NH_3$ are, the faster the particles grow.
