Emission control device and method

摘要

An emission control device and method are provided for treating exhaust gases to reduce pollutants contained therein. The device includes a first chamber through which the exhaust gas passes. First and second metal grids are disposed within the first chamber at a predetermined distance from each other. Voltage is supplied to the first grid via an inductive coil at a predetermined frequency. Electrical sparks are generated between the first and second grids which electrically ionizes the treatment chamber and a second chamber having strata. The strata can further includes noble metals for treatment of the exhaust gas.
