Abstract

From the beginning of the 70's the selective catalytic reduction, known as the SCR method, has gained much technological and economic importance as the treatment process for the nitrogen oxides (NOx) post-combustion, being nowadays the leader technology. Selective catalytic reduction is the reduction process to convert to nitrogen and water the nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gases of diesel engines, using ammonia as the reducing agent. The main goal of present research is to review all the processes developed as alternatives to produce ammonia using the nonthermal plasma technology in dielectric barrier discharge reactors.

Keywords - Ammonia production, urea thermolysis, SHS, DBD reactor, nonthermal plasma, deNOx
