Poster 7 Wind-driven NOx removal by flow-through fences with ACF (Activated Carbon Fiber): Evaluation of the fence's efficiency in reduction of ambient NOx

Abstract Because of heavy traffic in urban area in Japanese mega cities, air pollution by NO 2 , SPM, etc., is still severe in near-major-roads’ environment. In this study, we propose to use the activated carbon fiber (ACF) in flow-through fence set at roadside as an energy-free NO x remover. Efficiency of NO x removal by the flow-through fences was numerically investigated, when a NO x -rich air mass driven by natural wind passes through the fence.
