NOx removal in jet-engine exhaust: Proposed non-thermal plasma systems and economic considerations

[[abstract]]Summary form only given. Incentives for implementing new pollution-control technologies are both regulatory and economic. Given considerable regulatory pressure, e.g., the promulgation of a NESHAPS (National Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants) for NOx emissions in CY 2000, new de-NOx technologies are being explored. One major reason for this is that conventional de-NOx methods (like wet scrubbers plus selective catalytic reduction) will not work effectively for the low NO concentrations (e.g.,
