(Sub)nanosecond transient plasma for atmospheric plasma processing experiments: application to ozone generation and NO removal

“…An obvious choice to make is: to which application do we apply our nanosecond pulse technology? Some of the classical air-purification processes are the production of ozone [21,22,23,8,24] and the removal/conversion of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) [25,26,21,27,28,29,16,30], sulfur oxides (SO x ) [27,31,32,33], volatile organic compounds (VOCs) [34,35,36,37], tar [6,38], odour [39,40,41], particulate matter (PM) [27,41] and biological particles [41,42,43,44,45].…”

Analysis of Fine Dust Removal Time Using Circular Hole Electrodes of Various Sizes by Corona Discharge

“…Spontaneous corona discharges occur naturally in high-voltage systems. A corona discharge will occur when the electric field around a conductor is high enough to form a conductive region but not high enough to cause electrical breakdown or arcing to nearby objects [12][13][14][15]. The discharge is often seen as a bluish glow in the air adjacent to pointed metal conductors carrying high voltages and emits light through the same property as a gas discharge lamp ( Figure 3).…”

Pollutant Degradation in Gas Streams by means of Non-Thermal Plasmas

“…For environmental applications (e.g. VOC removal, water purification) corona discharges operated by pulsed high voltage are proposed since higher densities of reactive species can be achieved [11]. Pulsed corona discharges are characterized by plasma regions which fill a much larger fraction of the discharge gap than DC or low frequency corona discharges.…”
