The results ofmathematical modeling of СО oxidation processes in plasmochemical systems containing СО, 02 , Н20 and N2 with allowance for the formation of vibrationally excited nitrogen molecules in а plasma and for their participation in chemical processes have been presented. The calculations have shown that the use of а nonequilibrium plasma ($T_е$=1eV,$Т_0$= 700К, $n_e/n_0=5\cdot10{-6}$)in modeling carbon monoxide oxidation processes with allowance made for vibrational excitation of nitrogen molecules does not decrease the degree of СО oxidation, but leads to an increase in the СО oxidation process time Ьу an order of magnitude. The quantity of forming nitrogen oxides and dioxides NO and N02 is insignificant.
