Abstract

Non-thermal plasma (NTP) technologies can be used to treat a variety of gaseous pollutants, and extensive research has been carried out worldwide because of its high purification efficiency, low dependence on temperature, and other advantages. NO and SO 2 are the main gaseous pollutants in coal-fired flue gas. The plasma dynamics for desulfurization and denitrification is a hot topic in the field of NTP pollutant control technologies. In this paper, a one-dimensional fluid model for the simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification of flue gas by negative direct current (DC) corona discharge was established based on the traditional zero-dimensional chemical kinetic model. The simplified wire-cylindrical electrodes configuration and numerical simulation conditions are similar to the working process of electrostatic precipitators. The results obtained by the finite element method show that the removal efficiency of NO and SO 2 is remarkable in the region with a radius of less than one centimeter around the high-voltage electrode, and the effective purification area expands with the increase of the discharge voltage. There are different removal pathways for NO at different positions in the removal region, while the removal of SO 2 is mainly dependent on the oxidation by OH.
