Abstract: On the basis of the physical and chemical models of NO in non-equilibrium plasma based gas removal system NO-N2, the numerical simulation of NO removal process is conducted under different O2 initial concentrations to study the evolution of NO and NO2 concentrations varying with time. The influence of O2 initial concentration on the concentrations of main particles and NO removal is studied. The calculation results show that the presence of O2 has negative impacts on NO removal by non-equilibrium plasma. The NO removal efficiency reduces in the presence of O2. The higher concentration of O2 will lead to more decrease of NO removal efficiency. The adding of O2 increases the NO2 production as the result of the coexistence of non-equilibrium plasma and O2. In the presence of O2, the higher electron average energy will lead to further decrease of NO removal efficiency.
