Abstract
For diesel vehicles, NOx aftertreatment systems have
become increasingly important, since the emission legislations
continuously tightened. However, particulate matters (PM) and
NOx aftertreatment systems have an impact on the engine
operation and fuel penalties. Therefore, it is necessary either to
find some auxiliary systems to decrease this impact or to find some
brand new deNOx aftertreatment systems. In the
literature, most research works concerning NOx and PM
emission elimination using non-thermal plasma was conducted by
employing either a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor alone
or a plasma-assisted catalysis working under high temperature
condition (over 150°C). Although there have been evidences that
non-thermal plasma decomposes diesel PM but its mechanism is still
not clear.
In this paper, the simplified model for laboratory experiments
consists of a wire-to-cylinder DBD reactor combined with a DPF was
used to investigate NOx removal characteristics. The DPF
putting in the discharge field has two functions: a PM filter and a
dielectric barrier. A simulation gas of N₂, NO and O₂ combined with
PM was used as the test gas. The results showed that PM promoted
NOx removal reactions in the barrier discharge field but
its effect was dropped following elapsed time. Through this study,
two new definitions of "Fresh PM" and "Aged PM"
are used to explain the significant effect of PM on NOx
removal process. Besides, the chemical reaction mechanism inside
reactor was discussed. From the obtained results, a novel catalyst
concept for diesel exhaust aftertreatment is suggested.
