Experimental Study on Removing NO from Flue Gas Using Microwave Irradiation over Activated Carbon

Abstract:

The microwave catalytic reduction of NO was studied in activated carbon bed. The conversion of NO to N₂ under microwave irradiation remarkably increased compared to conventional heating, which indicates that the microwave irradiation has microwave catalysis effect besides thermal effect. The effects of a series of reaction parameters on the productivity of N₂ with a new microwave catalytic reactor system were investigated. The results show that NO is converted predominantly to N₂ under all reaction conditions and the highest conversion of NO to N₂ is up to 99.8% under optimized conditions.
