GlidArc-Assisted Cleaning of Flue Gas from a Sooting Combustion Case of Organic Nitrates Multiple-electrode & multiple step GlidArc were used to
clean-up highly soot and NOx charged flue gas from an open burning of
the Nitro-Benzene at the laboratory scale and the TNT (Tri-Nitro-Toluene)
at the pilot scale. High cleaning efficiency was achieved at the flue-gas
flow-rate up to 200 m3/h. Almost complete disappearance of soot (and
pyrolytic hazardous products adsorbed on it), and substantial lowering of
the NOx and CO concentrations
were observed. Other
applications of these plasma reactors for flue gas cleaning (for example for chemical weapon
destruction, see pages 27-29 there) at large gas-flow processing can be proposed.
