Abstract
NO oxidation by simultaneous action of a dielectric barrier discharge and TiO2 photocatalyst was investigated as a function of the inlet gas composition (NO, O2, N2) and the input energy. Concentrations of various NOx species and ozone in the outlet were detected by the optical absorption spectroscopy. Higher content of O2 (10% and higher) increased the removal of NO and resulted in a higher output of N2O5. TiO2 coating on a reactor electrode resulted in the time-depending oxidation of NO. Initially the concentration of untreated NO fell below the level achieved without TiO2 but after few minutes the positive effect of TiO2 diminished. The initial decrease in NO level due to the presence of TiO2 coating is explainable by surface reactions of NO species and absorbed oxygen. After few minutes, the surface states responsible for the initial removal of NO saturated and the effect of TiO2 vanished.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
