Two groups of different gas flow rate experiments were
conducted with a benchtop concentric cylinder dielectric barrier discharge reactor to investigate
how the change of the gas flow rate affects the effectiveness of dielectric barrier discharge
(DBD) treatment flue gas pollutants. Results show that the gas flow rate has little influence on
nitrogen oxides removal effectiveness when the input energy density is identical. Thus when
dealing with relatively high gas flow rates, the residence time needn't be worried too much, if
the equipment could deposit enough energy into the gas. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
