Industrial application of the decomposition of CO$_{2}$ $\cdot$ NO$_{x}$ by large flow atmospheric microwave plasma LAMP employed in motorcar*

In order to decompose CO$_{2}$ $\cdot$ NO$_{x}$ [1], we have developed the large flow atmospheric microwave plasma; LAMP [2]. It is very important to apply it for industrial innovation, so we have studied to apply the LAMP into motorcar. The characteristics of the developed LAMP are that the price is cheap and the decomposition efficiencies of CO$_{2}$ $\cdot$ NO$_{x}$ are high. The mechanism was shown as the vertical configuration between the exhaust gas pipe and the waveguide was suitable [2]. The system was set up in the car body with a battery and an inverter. The battery is common between the engine and the inverter. In the application of motorcar, the flow is large, so the LAMP which has the merits of large flow, high efficient decomposition, and cheap apparatus will be superior.\\[4pt] [1] H. Barankova, L.
