A pollutant reduction device and method are provided. The pollutant reduction device comprises: an exhaust gas pipe for discharging exhaust gas of a combustion engine; a cleaning water supply pipe for supplying cleaning water; a scrubber for spraying the cleaning water, which is supplied through the cleaning water supply pipe, at the exhaust gas flowing in through the exhaust gas pipe; and a cleaning water discharge pipe for discharging the cleaning water inside the scrubber and supplying the same to a ballast water tank.

An apparatus for exhaust gas abatement under reduced pressure includes a reaction tube having, in an interior thereof, an exhaust gas treatment space in which an exhaust gas supplied from an exhaust gas source via a vacuum pump is heated by an electric heater or excited by a plasma for decomposition and/or reaction treatment. The apparatus also includes a downstream vacuum pump connected to an exhaust gas outlet located downstream of the reaction tube to reduce a pressure in a region located downstream of an outlet of the vacuum pump and including the interior of the reaction tube. The downstream vacuum pump is a water-sealed pump. The apparatus further includes a water-washing unit for washing a downstream end of an exhaust gas flow path in the reaction tube with washing water. The washing water supplied by the water-washing unit is reused as seal water for the downstream vacuum pump.

Plasma is generated in a gas phase in a processing tub to produce a reforming component, the produced reforming component is dissolved in a liquid and is dispersed in the liquid to produce a reforming liquid, the produced reforming liquid is discharged from the processing tub to be stored in the storage tub, and gas is supplied from a gas supplier into the reforming liquid in the storage tub. The supplied gas has a bubble shape, comes into contact with the reforming liquid stored in the storage tub, and is deodorized.

The systems and methods described herein beneficially provide an exit gas having a third, relatively low, NO/NO.sub.2 ratio that closely approximates the NO/NO.sub.2 ratio found in the exhaust of various internal combustion engines. The systems and methods described herein receive a feed gas having a first, relatively high NO/NO.sub.2 ratio. The feed gas is apportioned into a first feed gas portion that is passed through a non-thermal plasma generation system to provide an intermediate gas having a second, relatively very low, NO/NO.sub.2 ratio and a second feed gas portion having the first NO/NO.sub.2 ratio. The intermediate gas and the second feed gas portion are combined to provide the exist gas having the third, relatively low, NO/NO.sub.2 ratio. The systems and methods described herein beneficially provide an exit gas having a variable NO/NO.sub.2 ratio to simulate exhaust from a variety of internal combustion engines.

A corona plasma cell includes a polarized electrode and a ground electrode, including a cylinder and a porous film, with the cylinder having a low profile and the polarized electrode not entering the cylinder; a corona plasma dual element including a first cell, a second cell having such a structure, which first and second cell are symmetrically arranged; and finally a plasma reactor including a plurality of cells or dual elements.

Provided are a gas phase oxidation/decomposition and absorption integrated device and application thereof in a gas-liquid system. The device comprises a housing (100), a motor (102), and a boost regulator (103); the housing (100) is internally provided with a rotating chamber (120) and a discharge chamber (122); the rotating chamber (120) comprises a rotating shaft (119), a turntable (124), a liquid distributor (123), packing layers (110), a guiding round table (111), a liquid inlet (108), a liquid outlet (112), and a first gas outlet (109); the discharge chamber (122) is located under the rotating chamber (120) and comprises a discharge chamber housing (121) and a plasma generator.

The present invention provides an energy-efficient method and apparatus that can achieve exhaust gas abatement with a minimum use of diluent nitrogen gas. More specifically, the present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for exhaust gas abatement under reduced pressure, in which an exhaust gas supplied from an exhaust gas source via a vacuum pump is decomposed by heat of a high-temperature plasma under a reduced pressure.

Systems, methods, and apparatus are contemplated in which a tube cell that produces a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) is individually configured to minimize the mixing of unwanted byproducts of the generated plasma with an exhaust air stream. The tube cell generates a DBD within a tube cell, such that oxidants or radicals are generated in an environment substantially separated from the exhaust stream. The generated oxidants are directed to intersect with the exhaust stream to minimize the generation of unwanted byproducts. The tube cells are further shaped and arranged in tube cell arrays to alter the flow dynamics of the exhaust stream and the oxidant or radical streams, including mixing of the streams.

A method and system to treat emissions (e.g., smoke, particulate, odor, grease) employs a nanosecond high voltage pulse generator, a transient pulsed plasma reactor, and a DC voltage source that supplies a DC bias voltage, preferably a negative DC bias voltage to a conductor of the transient pulsed plasma reactor. The system is used in a scheme that substantially reduces at least particulate matter in emissions streams, for example emissions streams produced during cooking, for instance in commercial charbroiling processes (e.g., cooking of hamburger meat), or from operation of internal combustion engines. Both a reduction in the size distribution and total particulate mass is achieved using the method and system described herein.
