Energy efficiency of hydrogen sulfide decomposition in a pulsed corona discharge reactor

Optimization of a Continuous Pulsed Corona Reactor

Pulsed corona discharge processes utilize chemical radicals and ions and highly reactive molecules produced from a high voltage pulsed electrical discharge that is sustained in an aqueous phase medium. Recently, such processes have been used for treating organic contaminants from wastewater. The principle objective of this work is to optimize the hydrogen peroxide needed in the flow reactor to ...

A High Temperature Pulsed Corona Plasma Reactor

Non-thermal plasma reactors have recently been used for the treatment of gaseous pollutants. High energy electrons (several eV) are produced in the plasma while the gas remains near ambient temperatures. Pollutant molecules are decomposed by highly reactive chemical radicals created through electron collisions. The focus of this work is the treatment of pollutants from the exhaust of electric a...

Investigation of Sour Natural Gas Decomposition in a Nozzle-type Solar Reactor for Hydrogen Production

Removal of Nonylphenol by Pulsed Corona Discharge in Water

Degradation of technical mixture of nonylphenol by the pulsed corona discharge in water has been investigated. It was shown that non-thermal plasma generated by the discharge can effectively remove nonylphenol from water. Degradation of nonylphenol followed first order kinetics. The removal efficiency was dependent on the solution conductivity, while a higher degree of degradation was obtained ...

Degradation of Aqueous Phase Trichloroethylene Using Pulsed Corona Discharge

Pulsed corona discharge has been found to be an effective method for the removal of trichloroethylene (TCE) from the aqueous phase. Almost complete degradation over one hour was observed irrespective of the electrolyte used in the solution. The degradation rates observed in these experiments are higher than those for other organic compounds such as phenol in pulsed corona reactors, thereby sugg...
