Abstract :
High repetition rate, high reliability and long lifetime are required for pulsed power generators for environmental applications. Also, it is necessary to optimize the pulsed power generator for each environmental application. Recent developments in pulsed power generators are described. In addition, recent research of gaseous phase pollution control using pulsed power, cleaning of lake and dam of algae bloom by discharges, and recycling of concrete by pulsed power is summarized.
