This study proposes a novel four-way plasma-catalytic removal of particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide without external heating using a pulsed dielectric barrier discharge reactor combined with Au/CaSO4/gamma-Al2O3 catalyst balls. With the optimized amount of Au and CaSO4, over 90% of particulate matter, 40% of nitrogen oxides, and nearly 100% of hydrocarbons were removed from the diesel engine exhaust, while the increase of carbon monoxide concentration due to the oxidation of particulate matter and hydrocarbons and the decomposition of carbon dioxide were minimized. Importantly, the performance of the plasma catalytic reactor was maintained without decline for the duration of the experiment (7 h) with an attractive cost/performance ratio. These findings offer a new approach to the simultaneous treatment of diesel exhausts and provide a novel concept for the design of a practical and compact after-treatment device for the diesel engine exhaust gases.
