The current work demonstrates the feasibility of atmospheric pressure non-thermal plasma technique for NOX pollution control. Atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge plasma reactor has been constructed for the treatment of the exhaust of 4kWs free load diesel engine. The nature and properties of the discharge were identified through studying electrical characterization of the discharge cell. The effect of applied voltage, discharge power and discharge length on the removal and energy efficiency of NOX has been investigated. Different parameters including, NOX removal efficiency, specific energy density and energy cost per molecule have been calculated, analyzed and interpreted. It has been found that the removal efficiency of NOX was varied from (16%-74%) at energy cost of values varied from (123-390 eV/molecule). The obtained data represents promising results and offers a solution for NOX pollution reduction.
