title: Application of TiO2-coated alumina beads to dielectric barrier discharge-photocatalyst hybrid process for NO and SO2 removals.
abstract: NO and SO2 removal by dielectric barrier discharge-photocatalyst (DBD-P) hybrid process was examined for various conditions of process variables. Alumina beads were coated with TiO2 thin film by a rotating cylindrical PCVD reactor and they were packed inside the cylindrical reactor. The NO and SO2 removal efficiencies can be enhanced by using a combination of dielectric barrier discharge and photodegradation by TiO2. The stronger the applied voltage is, the higher the pulse frequency is, or the longer the gas residence time is, the higher the NO and SO2 removal efficiencies become. By applying additional photocatalytic effect, NO removal efficiency increased more significantly than SO2 removal efficiency, because SO2 removal efficiency was already high by dielectric barrier discharge only. In this study, we found that the alumina beads coated with TiO2 thin film by a rotating cylindrical PCVD reactor could be used effectively to remove NO and SO2 by DBD-P hybrid process.
