Experimental Study on Influences of $ C_{3} %$ H_{6} $ and $ CO_{2} $ in Diesel Exhaust on Desulfurization and Denitrification by Nonthermal Plasma

Abstract Effects of $ C_{3} %$ H_{6} $ and $ CO_{2} $ on desulfurization and denitrification by nonthermal plasma (NTP) and formation of the by-product CO were investigated under the simulated diesel exhaust condition. Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) was employed to observe the plasma process, and effects of $ C_{3} %$ H_{6} $ and $ CO_{2} $ on the emission intensities of O %${\text{(3p}}^{{5}} {\text{P}} \to {\text{3s}}^{{5}} {\text{S}}_{{2}}^{{0}} {)}%$ and OH %$({A}^{2}{\sum }^{+}\to {\mathrm{X}}^{2}\prod )%$ were detected. The experimental result shows that the $ CO_{2} $ concentration has negligible effect on formation of O and OH radicals, and the change in the $ CO_{2} $ concentration has no significant impact on the removal of NO and $ SO_{2} $, but every 1% increase of the $ CO_{2} $ concentration will raise the CO by about 22.5 ppm. When the $ C_{3} %$ H_{6} $ concentration increases from 0 to 600 ppm, the NO removal efficiency increases from 42.8 to 70.5%. However, the existence of $ C_{3} %$ H_{6} $ has marginal effect on the $ SO_{2} $ removal. $ C_{3} %$ H_{6} $ is an effective additive for the oxidative removal of NO, which can react with O and OH radicals in DBD reactor and generate a lot of oxidative radicals including $ HO_{2} $ and $ RO_{2} $ ($ C_{2} %$ H_{5} %$ O_{2} $, $ CH_{3} %$ O_{2} $, $ HOC_{3} %$ H_{6} %$ O_{2} $). The generated $ HO_{2} $ and $ RO_{2} $ will replace O and OH radicals as the main species to realize the oxidative removal of NO. However, the by-product CO formed in the plasma process and the unreacted $ C_{3} %$ H_{6} $ also need to be concerned. Through analyzing the mechanism of $ CO_{2} $ and $ C_{3} %$ H_{6} $ promoting the removal of NO and $ SO_{2} $ in a more realistic simulated gas atmosphere based on OES, the present study can provide guidance for improving the efficiencies of desulfurization and denitrification for marine diesel exhaust by NTP..
