Abstract

Summary form only given. The aim of the study is the reduction of NO/sub x/ components in exhaust gases by means of a pulsed microwave discharge. discharge is operated in N/sub 2//O/sub 2//NO mixtures under atmospheric pressure. Contrary to cw operated microwave discharges, pulsed systems show strong non-thermal behavior. Discharge chambers have been developed with resonance frequencies: near 2.45 and 3 GHz. Pulse duration of several of microseconds up to 50 /spl mu/s and repetition frequencies of 50 Hz-25 kHz are typical for these experiments.
