The experimental investigation of the electrostatic field influence on carbon monoxide and nitric oxide exhausting during the polymer combustion
Emissions issue is one of the most important ecology problems. The both MSW (municipal solid waste) combustion and the organic fuel combustion cause the nitrogen monoxide and the carbon monoxide releasing. In order to solve this problem nowadays the mankind uses several ways as using filters to purify the exhausting gases or the combustion optimization. The present article considers the method of the combustion control by means of the electric field. It provides to reduce the exhausting substances concentrations. The investigation objective is the dependency relation between the CO and NO exhausting and the parameters of the electric field installed in the combustion chamber. The considering substances to be burnt are the polystyrene (PS), the polypropylene (PP), the polyethylene (PE), the butadiene rubber SKD-II (the name of merchandise produced by GOST 38.403750-2001). The investigation justified the opportunities to control the quantity of the exhausting products by changing the electric field parameters. In particular, the experimental results show that the CO and NO exhausting decrease by 10-50% and 70% respectively.
