Abstract :
Chemical destruction measurements for a Blumlein driven pulsed corona reactor are presented along with observed current and voltage waveforms. The input gas flow consists of 0.2 to 1.5 SLPM room temperature air with a 200 ppm toluene impurity. The PCR is operated with an applied voltage of between 12 to 30 kV at 5 to 50 Hz repetition rate. The dependence of the PCR chemical destruction on rep-rate, applied voltage and flow are reported. Apparatus to observe the relation between the emission spectra and the chemical destruction is discussed.
