The International Conference on Electrostatic Precipitation (ICESP) is the official conference of the International Society for Electrostatic Precipitation (ISESP).  

The following is a list of the Abstracts for the C-3 Series papers from the VIII ICESP Conference. 

C3-1 Corona Induced Non-Thermal Plasma for Pollution Control and Sustainable Technology
K. Yan, E.J.M. van Heesch, and A.J.M. Pemen

Abstract
This paper reviews part of our recent research and development on corona-induced plasma techniques for pollution control and sustainable technology.  Our work includes investigations on characteristics of pulsed corona discharge; plasma induced chemical kinetics, high-voltage pulsed power generator, plasma reactor, exhaust gas cleaning, VOCs and odor abatement, and tar removal from bio-gas.  Two 1-10 kW systems have been tested for more than one hundred hours.  Moreover, a 10-30kW corona plasma system is also under construction for industrial applications.

C3-2 Simultaneous Removal of NOx and Carbon Soot From Diesel Exhaust Using Discharge Plasma
Yoshihiko Matsui, Aki Sakaguchi, Masayuki Hashimoto, Kazunori Takashima and Akira Mizuno

Abstract
For cleaning of diesel exhaust, removal of carbon soot and oxidation of collected soot has been studied using pulsed discharge plasma.  Carbon soot is collected on a quartz fiber filter.  NO2 was absorbed to the collected soot layer.  When the soot layer was exposed to the pulsed plasma without oxygen, CO2 was generated, indicating the oxidation of soot using the oxygen in the absorbed NO2.  The experimental results indicate that the oxidation of soot and the reduction of NO2 are depended on the O2 concentration in the pulsed plasma.

C3-4 Simultaneous Removal of Fine Particulates, SO2, and NOx by a Two-Stage Electrostatic Precipitators with Ferro-dielectric Electrode Precharger
Yoshihiro Kawada, Tadamitsu Kaneko, Tairo Ito and Jen-Shih Chang

Abstract
An experimental investigation has been conducted to study performance of two-stage electrostatic precipitators (ESP) with a ferro-dielectric electrode precharger for the simultaneous removal of fine particle, NOx and SO2.  Two-stage ESP tested is consisted of wire-rod or quadrupole type precharger and wire-plate ESPs.  Corona wire of precharger was made of ferro-dielectric materials with dielectric constant of 10,000 and rod electrode was covered by glass barriers.  Experiments were conducted for the precharger applied voltage from 0 to 24kV peak to peak for 60Hz, total gas flow 2.7 and 5.8Nm3/h, and increase combustion dust loading from 20 to 50mg/m3 for NOx and SO2 concentrations of 20 ppm and 10 ppm respectively.  The results show that dust particle removal efficiency increase with increasing precharger applied voltage and decreased with increasing total gas flow rate for quadrupole type prechargers but no significant removal efficiency improvements were observed for wire-rod type prechargers.
