Treatment of off-gases containing NOx by electron beam

Electron accelerators are a source of high energy electrons which are used at different technological applications. NOx removal contained in off-gases was studied by using electron beam generated plasma. It was found that removal efficiency of NOx was influenced by applied energy and its input mode, gas flow patterns and different types of scavengers to enhance radical driven reactions.

Graphical abstractElectron beam technology is a modern process for SOx and NOx simultaneous removal from off-gases. Since the most energy consumption is required for NOx removal, the scavengers may be used for its reduction what is important for the process economy. The flow structure arrangements in the reactor is other way of energy consumption optimization.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload high-quality image (75 K)Download as PowerPoint slideHighlights► Electron beam technology is a modern process for SOx and NOx simultaneous removal from off-gases. ► Since the most energy consumption is required for NOx removal, the scavengers may be used for its reduction what is important for the process economy. ► The flow structure arrangements in the reactor is other way of energy consumption optimization. ► These methods were applied with the success by the authors and are reported for the first time.
