Abstract
Abstract Results of spectroscopic investigations and current–voltage characteristics of electrical discharges between a needle and plate electrodes in a gas mixture simulating flue gases from coal fired power plants at atmospheric pressure are presented in the paper. In these investigations, back discharge was generated at the plate electrode covered with fly ash layer in order to simulate the conditions similar to those in electrostatic precipitators. To characterize the physical processes in back discharges, the emission spectra were measured and compared with those obtained for normal corona discharge generated in the same electrode configuration but with fly ash removed from the electrode. The emission spectra provide information on elemental and molecular composition of the layer. It was also shown that discharge characteristics in flue gas are quite different from those occurring in ambient air.
