Contribution to electrical discharge electron beam system for flue gas cleaning method

Many authors have investigated simultaneous reduction of SO2 and NOx from f lue gas stack emission by electron beam-induced plasma process. Because of high costs, this technology has been applied in only a few countries (Japan , China and Poland) until now. Small countries, consumers of cheap combusti bles, produce a great deal of atmospheric pollutants SO2 and NOx, For this reason there is a great interest in the implementation of cheaper technolog ies with a similar impact as electron beam processing. This paper presents a series of experimental data for SO2 and NOx removal by electron beams, el ectric discharge and ozone in different processing variants of flue gas.
