Effects of increasing the repetition rate in nitrogen oxides treatment using pulsed discharge plasma

Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor was investigated in order to improve the processing performance on nitric oxide (NO) removal. We investigated the influence of increasing the pulse repetition rate under the same specific energy density (SED) in simulated gas under the room temperature. Non-thermal plasma was generated by applying a high voltage pulsed power supply to DBD reactor. The power supply having the magnetic pulse compression method is used to obtain a pulsed high voltage. The SED was adjusted by changing the applied voltage of the DBD reactor, and pulse repetition rate. The results indicate the following; 1) the low applied voltage to DBD reactor is effective against NO removal performance; 2) the high pulse repetition rate is effective against NO removal performance in same SED. The related results of detail will be reported.
