Abstract
The performance of a new method using pulsed streamer corona for the removal of SO2 from humid air has been evaluated. The pulsed streamer corona produces energetic free electrons that excite, dissociate, and ionize gas molecules, forming radicals that enhance the gas-phase chemical reactions that convert SO2 to acid mist and/or particulate aerosols. The aerosols are then collected by conventional means, i.e., by electrostatic precipitator or bag filter. The SO2 removal efficiency was compared with that of the electron-beam and dc corona flue-gas treatment processes. The comparison demonstrates the advantage of the novel method.Keywords
