Abstract
Results of using a moderate-power (several hundred Watts) pulsed microwave torch plasma (MTP) to the conversion of atmospheric-pressure nitrous oxide (N2O) into nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2 and N2O4) are presented. The pulsed regime allowed to decrease the average power used, resulting in a higher value of energy efficiency by about 10% (reaching several hundred g[N2O]/kWh) at the same efficiency of the decomposition of N2O (70÷90%) as at the continuous operation of MTP. The removal rate increased up to 200 g[N2O]/h. The obtained results suggest the pulsed MTP promising for efficient decomposition of various gaseous pollutants, e.g. fluorocarbons.
