<p>An emission control device (10) and method are provided for treating exhaust gases to reduce pollutants contained therein. The device (10) includes a first chamber (16) through which the exhaust gas passes. First and second metal grids (26,30) are disposed within the first chamber (16) at a predetermined distance from each other. Voltage is supplied to the first grid (26) via an inductive coil (14) at a predetermined frequency. Electrical sparks are generated between the first and second grids (26,30) which electrically ionizes the treatment chamber and a second chamber having strata (46). The strata (46) can further includes noble metals for treatment of the exhaust gas.</p> |
