Pulse-induced plasma chemical process (PPCP) is a novel means of processing with a very large potential in various applications, including removal of NO, SO2, HCl, Hg vapor, and other gaseous pollutants from combustion gases, composition of new gaseous and solid substances, production of ultra-fine particulate materials, treatment of surfaces, etc. This is because PPCP can raise Linder normal pressure the electron temperature for production of active chemical species, such as OH radical, O, O3, O2, O2, N, N2, etc., without, raising ion temperature, which had been possible only by high frequency glow discharge under a low pressure condition. The authors developed a reliable nanosecond pulse high voltage generator allowing a continuous operation necessary to realize the PPCP as industrial devices. As one of its R&D program series the author investigated DeNOx and DeSOx of combustion gas by PPCP, and confirmed that DeNOx is possible by both positive and negative pulsings, and DeSOx only by positive pulsing. NO is oxidized by PPCP to NO, which is removed again by PPCP. The reaction speed by PPCP with positive pulsing is more than one order of magnitude higher than that by negative pulsing applicable to electrostatic precipitators. The reaction speed is greatly enhanced by raising the peak field intensity, which requires the use of very sharp pulse. The speed is also enhanced by raising pulse frequency, lowering gas temperature, and using sharp corona wires. The oxidation of NO and removal of NO2can proceed without O2and moisture, but it is greatly enhanced by them. The addition of NH3enhances also NO2-removal, possibly by its NO2-scavenging effect from gas phase, while it does not enhance NO-oxidation. The combination of PPCP with the Electron Beam DeNOx and DeSOx does not produce non-linear enhancing effect other than the independent any effect by PPCP alone.
