In this study, we analyzed the $NO_X$ removal efficiency and particle size distribution by the pulsed corona discharge process and investigated the effect of several process variables. The NO removal efficiencies and the particle characteristics were measured and analyzed as the function of initial concentrations of NO, $H_2O$, and $NH_3$, applied voltage, pulse frequency and residence time. As the frequency of applied voltage increases, or as the applied voltage increases or as the residence time increases, the NO removal efficiency increases. The change of initial $NH_3$ and $H_2O$ concentrations do not affect the NO removal efficiency significantly. The particle concentration and size increases with the increases of initial NO concentration, residence time and applied voltage.

유전체 모세관을 이용한 해수에서의 펄스고전압 방전 특성을 연구하였다. 내경 1, 2, 3 mm의 구멍이 뚫린 Quartz 블럭에 외경 1, 2, 3 mm의 SUS 핀을 삽입하였고 삽입된 핀의 끝이 해수에 담구어 지도록 하여 고전압 방전을 발생 시켰다. 인가된 펄스 고전압은 5 kHz의 반복 주파수를 가지며, Pulse 폭을 $1{\sim}2.5{\mu}sec$까지 변화 시켜 전압전류 파형과 방전양상을 살펴 보았다. 방전은 펄스폭 변화에 따라 전해전도 전류에 의한 모세관 가열, 모세관내 미세기포형성, 기포내의 코로나 방전 개시 그리고 글로우 또는 아크방전으로 발전하는 것을 확인하였다. 모세관의 길이는 각각의 구경에 대하여 5 mm, 10 mm 두 가지로 변화하여 실험하였고, 모세관 길이 10 mm 조건에서는 방전이 매우 불안정 하였다. 각각의 방전조건별로 1~5분간 방전을 진행하여 해수내의 유리염소의 농도 변화를 살펴본 결과 방전모드가 글로우 또는 아크 방전 모드에서 단위 에너지당 유리염소 발생 수율이 큰 폭으로 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

A laboratory scale experiment on phenol conversion properties by pulsed corona discharge process was carried out. Effects of operating parameters such as applied voltage, input oxygen, and electrode geometry on phenol conversion and solution properties were investigated. Electrical discharges generated in liquid phase increased the liquid temperature by heat transfer from current flow, decreased the pH value by producing various organic acids from phenol degradation, and increased conductivity by generating charge carriers and organic acids. The oxygen supply enhanced the phenol conversion through the ozone generation dissolution and the production of OH radicals. Series type electrode configuration induced more ozone production than reference type configuration because it produced gas phase discharges as well as liquid phase discharges. Therefore, the higher phenol conversion and TOC(total organic carbon) removal efficiency were obtained in series type configuration.

Effects of operating parameters such as applied voltage, solution conductivity, ferrous ion concentration, electrode material on phenol degradation by pulsed corona discharges were investigated in laboratory scale experiments. The increase of applied voltage enhanced the phenol degradation by generating more energetic electrons. The solution conductivity inversely affected phenol removal rate in the tested ranges because the increase of conductivity decreased the electric field strength through the liquid phase. The addition of ferrous sulfate promoted the phenol degradation through the OH radical production by the Fentonlike reactions between ferrous ion and hydrogen peroxide generated by pulsed corona discharges. Catechol and hydroquinone were detected as primary intermediates of phenol degradation and the decrease of pH and the increase of conductivity were observed probably due to the generation of organic acids. Almost all of the initial phenol was disappeared and 29% of total organic corbon (TOC) was removed in the condition of 0.5 mM of ferrous sulfate after approximately 230 kJ of discharge energy transferred to the reactor.

In this study, we have analyzed the removal efficiencies of $SO_2$ and $SO_2/NO$ by the pulsed corona discharge process and investigated the effects of several process variables on those removal efficiencies systematically. The effects of process variables such as applied voltage, pulse frequency, residence time, and initial concentrations of reactants (NO, $SO_2$, $NH_3$, $H_2O$, and $O_2$) on the removal efficiency were analyzed. As the applied voltage, the pulse frequency or the residence time increases or as the $O_2$ or the $H_2O$ or the $NH_3$ concentration in the inlet feed gas stream increases, the $SO_2$ removal efficiencies and the simultaneous removal efficiencies of $SO_2/NO$ also increase. These experimental results can be used as a basis to design the pulsed corona discharge process to remove $NO_x$ and $SO_x$.

Flue gas from fossil fuel combustion is the main source of air pollution. It is recognized that $SO_2$ and $NO_x$, (sum of NO and $NO_2$) react with $H_2O$ and $O_2$ in atmosphere and convert precursors of acid rain. Streamer corona process using pulse power is one of the effective methods to remove these gases from stack. For this, pulse generator with 160 kV of output peak voltage, 0.3 ${\mu}s$ of pulse width and 120Hz of pulse repetition rate is developed. This paper shows the pulse compression characteristics to obtain optimum parameters for basic system design.

A laboratory experiment on methyl orange degradation in pulsed corona discharges was carried out. Effects of operating parameters such as applied voltage, pH, conductivity and initial concentration on methyl orange degradation were investigated. The pulsed corona discharges decreased the pH of solution and increased conductivity, probably due to products generated from methyl orange degradation by corona discharges. The decrease of initial pH enhanced the methyl orange degradation. The methyl orange degradation was fastest in $100{\mu}S/cm$ conductivity solution, followed by 50 and $200{\mu}S/cm$, indicating that $100{\mu}S/cm$ is the most favorable in the aspect of radical generation among the experimented conditions. The methyl orange of initial concentration from 20 to 60mg/L was effectively degraded in pulsed corona discharges. The lower initial concentration of methyl orange, the faster degradation was observed.

In this study, we analyzed $NO_x$ and $SO_x$ removal efficiencies by a pulsed corona discharge process and investigated the effect of several process variables. The removal efficiencies of NO and $SO_2$ were measured changing the process variables of initial concentrations of NO, $H_2O$, and $NH_3$, $SO_2$, applied voltage, pulse frequency and residence time. As the applied voltage or the frequency of applied voltage or the residence time increases, the NO and $SO_2$ removal efficiencies increase. The NO and $SO_2$ removal efficiencies also increase by the addition of $O_2$ or $H_2O$, or by using the large diameter of the discharge electrode. The experimental results can be used as a basis to design the pulsed corona discharge process to remove $NO_x$, $SO_x$ and VOCs.
