Summary
SERDP Compliance Project CP-1038 (Development of Non-Thermal Plasma Reactor Technology for Control of Atmospheric Emissions) has been commissioned to evaluate and develop non-thermal plasma (NTP) reactor technology, a form of low-temperature plasma chemical processing, for Department of Defense (DoD) applications. The primary emphasis is on the control of emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOₓ), with a secondary emphasis on hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emission control (primarily volatile organic compounds--VOCs). In this white paper, as a SERDP-requested deliverable, the authors will verify the NOₓ removal reactions in NTPs, especially those converging on nitric acid (HNO₃) as a primary reaction product. The benefit of making HNO₃ as a primary terminal de-NOₓ product is that it can be easily neutralized by relatively simple caustic (base) scrubbers--although the economics of scrubber systems needs to be compared with the conversion to particles that can be filtered or precipitated. Jet engines also emit a significant amount of SOₓ in their exhaust; NTPs also remove SOₓ and actually do it more effectively in combination with NOₓ. This will not be dealt with in this particular white paper.
