Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to study the removal of nitrogen oxide(NOx) using a wire-plate type plasma reactor with magnet attached for indoor air purification. In order to produce a more effective reactor, we conducted magnetic field simulations. The results of the magnetic field simulations show that NOx can be removed more effectively. The results from the magnetic field simulation show that when 7 magnets were applied to the reactor, the magnetic flux density was at its highest amount than when using 0, 3, or 5 magnets. From the data obtained by the simulation results a plasma reactor was made and thus, several experiments were conducted. The best removal efficiency was obtained with 14 W AC power to the reactor with 5 magnets.
