Description:

The paper discusses EPA tests of two types of corona reactors. nemakes use of a bed of ferroelectric pellets across which analternating current electric field is impressed. he otherdevelops corona between two electrodes that have been energized bya fast rise time (nanosecond range) electric field. ata from theexperiments to date show that the destruction efficiency fortoluene at optimum conditions was greater than 99% in both thepacked-bed and the pulsed reactor and that the corona reactionoccurs at ambient temperature.
