Abstract :
In a streamer-dominated pulsed corona the energetic electrons can interact with the background molecules and produce O, OH, and HO2 radicals. Reactions involving these radicals are studied to analyze their effect on the removal of acidic pollutants NO, NO2 , and SO2 from flue gases. For the NO removal the reactions with O and HO2 play a dominant role, whereas the OH radical is primarily responsible for the SO2 and NO2 removal
