In this article we apply chemical engineering concepts to describe the removal of atmospheric pollutants in non-thermal plasma reactors. We show that the removal efficiency is not only dependant on the so-called characteristic energy, but also on the relative importance of radical linear termination reactions and on the hydrodynamics of the reactor.
