Abstract:

The removal of nitrogen oxides by catalyst and low-temperature plasma is remarkable.Five catalysts with different band gaps,such as WO3,ZnO,NiO,CdS and Cu2O,were prepared.By means of SEM,XRD and Raman characterization,the catalytic oxidation performance of NO and NO x combined with low temperature plasma was compared.P-type semiconductors had no effect on NO x removal,while N-type semiconductors had obvious effect on NO x removal.The order of oxidation efficiency from big to small was CdS,WO3,ZnO,which was exactly opposite to their band gap values.The degradation efficiency of NO and NO x by CdS was 98.4% and 84.4% respectively,and the catalytic performance of CdS recycling was still good.The specific effects of plasma and catalyst on the reaction process and the coupling between them were described.The determination of NO3- and NO2- on the surface of samples catalyzed by discharge by ion chromatography was conducive to further understanding of such synergistic mechanism.

Key words: plasma, catalyst, NO x, band gap
