The surface discharge induced plasma chemical process(SPCP) was applied to decompose nitric oxide(NO). The operating condition was optimized in order to maximize the NO decomposition efficiency. The highest NO decomposition efficiency obtained was 94.3% at the power consumption of 19.8 W for the frequency of 10 kHz. NO decomposition efficiency increased with increasing residence time or with decreasing initial concentration of NO. As the thickness and melting point of the electrode increased, the NO decomposition efficiency was improved. It was also found that CH4 was an effective additive in this experiment.
