N2 - This paper discusses the global chemical kinetics of corona plasma-induced chemical
reactions for pollution control. If there are no significant radical termination
reactions, the pollution remoûal linearly depends on the corona energy density and/
or the energy yield is a constant. If linear radical termination reactions play a
dominant role, the remoûal rate shows experimental functions in terms of the corona
energy density. If the radical concentration is significantly affected by nonlinear
termination reactions, the remoûal rate depends on the square root of the corona
energy density. These characteristics are also discussed with examples of VOCs and
NOx remoûal and multiple processing. Moreoûer, this paper also discusses how to
match a corona plasma reactor with a ûoltage pulse generator in order to increase
the total energy efficiency. For a giûen corona reactor, a minimum peak ûoltage is
found for matching a ûoltage pulse generator. Optimized relationship between the
ûoltage rise time, the output impedance of a ûoltage pulse generator, and the stray
capacitance of a corona reactor is presented. As an example, the paper discusses a
5.0-kW hybrid corona nonthermal plasma system for NOx remoûal from exhaust
gases.
