Article: Reports from Gifu University highlight recent research in dielectrics and electrical insulation.

According to a study from Gifu, Japan, "Ammonia radical injection using pulsed dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma has been investigated as a means to control NOx emissions from combustors. When DBD plasma-generated radicals (NH2, NH, N, and H) are injected into a flue gas containing nitrogen oxide (NOx), NOx is removed efficiently by chain reactions in the gas phase."

"However, because the percentage of NOx removal gradually decreases with increasing oxygen concentrations beyond 1% O-2, improvement of the DeNOx (removal of nitrogen oxide) characteristics at high O-2 concentrations was necessary for commercial combustors. A two-staged injection of the DeNOx ...
