ABSTRACT
To protect the environment it is necessary to clean waste gases, reducing the
emission of toxic impurities. During past years considerable efforts have been
made to develop plasma methods for removal of pollutant components. The source
of non-equilibrium plasma operates in a waste gas flow and produces chemically
active species. These species initiate the chain of reactions in which the pollutant
molecules participate, and as a result gaseous or condensed non-toxic
components arise. The investigation of the time evolution of the reactive gas
systems is very important for these purposes. Software applications for solving the
problems of removing toxic compounds in the gas flow have been developed.
