Abstract

Particle-phase polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emissions from a diesel engine were purified with non-thermal plasma (NTP) technology. The NTP reactor was designed based on a corona discharge. PAHs both with and without NTP were quantified with gas-chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The levels of PAHs were analyzed based on GC-MS results. The results showed that the content of PAHs increased greatly for light particle-phase PAHs except for Phe and AnT. The increases in the percentage of NaP and AcPy were 1130.4% and 758.57%, respectively. The decrease in heavy PAHs exceeded 80%, except for BghiP. The content and BaP_eq of the PAHs with and without NTP dropped to 58.4% and 82.8%, respectively.
