The compositional and structural properties of alkali metal ion exchanged Y-zeolites have been investigated by la number of analytical techniques and their catalytic activities were tested for NOx reduction in combination with a non-thermal plasma. The NOx conversion data for LiY, NaY, KY and CsY were measured by chemiluminiscent NOx meter in the temperature range of 100 to $350^{\circ}C$. The initial activities of the catalyst at $150^{\circ}C$ increased in the order LiY < KY < NaY < CsY in alkali series. The activity of CsY and NaY were increased and showed maximum at $200^{\circ}C$ and then decreased in the plasma reactor, as the temperature increased. The activity of KY maintained same by $200^{\circ}C$ and then decreased, whereas the activity of LiY decreased with the increasing temperature. The CsY catalyst, which showed the highest activity in alkali metal series, exhibits a NOx conversion efficiency of $80\%$ between $170{\~}220^{\circ}C$.

In order to reduce NOx emissions in the 20kW class microturbine under development, the low NOx characteristics, as being an application to the lean premixed combustion technology, have been investigated. The study has been conducted at the conditions of high temperature and high pressure. Theair from a compressor with the pressure of 2.5bar, 3.0bar, 3.5bar was supplied to the combustor with the temperature 560K through the air preheat-treatment. The sampling exhaust gas was measured at the immediate exit of the combustor. For the effect of temperature on NO and CO emissions, though NOx were increased, CO was decreased with increasing inlet air temperature. With increasing inlet air pressure, NOx were increased and CO was decreased also. NOx were decreased, but CO was increased with increasing inlet air mass flow rate. The test has been performed on the equivalent ratio of 0.10 to 0.16 in the lean region. NOx were increased with increasing equivalent ratio, but CO was decreased as an influence of flame temperature. CFD work with an appropriate combustion model predicated a complicated swirling flow pattern in the combustor, and also produced a numerical value of NOx and CO emissions which was to be compared with the experimental one. As the results of this study, NOx are expected to be reduced to less than 42ppm at 15% O2 when operated at the design condition of the 20kW class microturbine.

This study investigated on the conversion of nitrogen component in ammonia gas to control fuel-NOx. Control conditions were found to suppress the production of NOx in the catalytic combustion of the gasified fuels. Also, the results would provide the basis of the theoretical study on fuel-NOx generation mechanism.

In this paper, we studied reduction characteristics of NOx gas produced from diesel engine combustion using by point-plane electrode. Here, input voltage forms were types of three [DC, AC, DC Positive pulse] and NOx gas of 1700ppm was composed of NO 1665ppm, $NO_2$ 35ppm on balance of $N_2$. We investigated NOx reduction characteristics as various of parameters, are gas flow rate, input voltage form and, humidity. From the results of study, reduction characteristics of NOx exhibited good when gas flow rate was small, input voltage was DC and much humidity were contained to NOx gas.

Combined De-NOx Process in which $NH_3$ SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) and non-thermal Plasma Process are simultaneously used, has been investigated with a pilot test facility. The pilot test facility treats the combustion flue gases exhausted from a diesel engine that generates 240 kW of electrical power. Test results show that up to 80 % of NOx (NO and NO2) can be removed at 100 - $200^{\circ}C$. None of conventional De-NOx techniques works under such low temperature range. In addition to NOx. the Pilot test results show that soot can be simultaneously treated with the present non-thermal plasma technique. The present pilot test shows that the electrical power consumption to operate the non-thermal plasma reactor is equivalent to 3 - 4 % of the electrical power generated by the diesel engine.

Plasma process has great possibilities to remove SOx, NOx simultaneously with high treatment efficiency and is expected to be suitable for small or middle plants. It was accomplished to evaluate SO2, NOx control possibility and achieve basic data to control pollutants by use of Surface Discharge Induced Plasma Chemical Process (SPCP) in this study. O3 generation characteristics by discharge of a plate was proportional to O2 concentration and power consumption and inversely proportional to temperature and humidity, In case of dry air, NOx was highly generated by N2 and O2 in air during the plasma discharge process but it was decreased considerably as H2O was added. SO2 removal efficiency was very high, and removal rate was 170,350 mEA at 30,50 watt respectively in flue gas which is usually contain HIO. NOx removal efficiency was about 57% at 40 watt power consumption with 7.5% humidity. It is estimated that H2O has an important role in reaction mechanism with pollutants according to plasma discharge.

To meet the environmental requirements, Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction Co., Ltd. (Doosan) had developed low NOx pulverized coal burner and it was applied to boiler retrofit project, 130 ton/hr coal fired cogeneration boiler, in 2003. NOx emissionand unburned carbon (UBC) in fly ash were measured during the commissioning tests. In this paper, the operation results of low NOx pulverized coal burner installed in 130 ton/hr coal fired boiler are presented. Burners emitted 160 ppm (@6 % $O_2$ basis) NOx and 3 % UBC with Chinacoal containing 0.86 % fuel nitrogen. And also it was shown that NOx emission rate of low NOx pulverized coal burner is linearly increased with fuel-nitrogen fraction of coal.

The purpose of this study is to establish the flame structure and NOx emission characteristics of the swirl flow coaxial diffusion combustion in the model gas turbine combustor. The mean temperature, ion currents and NOx emission measurement technique showed the effect of equivalence ratio into flame length and flame stability. As a result of this study, NOx emission was increased by increasing the equivalence ratio, and the peak value of the NOx was appeared near the flame front.

The objective of this study was to obtain basic data for the staged combustion toward the NOx reduction in coal combustion. Combustion and NOx emission/reduction were investigated by using DTF. NOx emission was decreased with decreasing air ratio and with increasing volatile content in coal. In particular, effective NOx reduction was achieved at high temperature at the onset of combustion with fuel rich condition.

FGR is one of the most widely used methods of NOx reduction in the combustion process. It was investigated the effect of FGR, excess air ratio, peak temperature and firing rate on NOx emission in this study. 100kW burner and LNG were adopted in this experiment. NOx emission was notably decreased with the increase of FGR, however CO emission was also drastically increased in the 25% FGR. And excess air ratio, peak temperature and firing rate did not affect the NOx emission appreciably in the normal operating condition.
