Non Catalytic Methane Formation from Syngas in the Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma, Initiated by Microsecond Pulses

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, the principal possibility of methane formation from syngas (the mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide) in the dielectric barrier discharge plasma was shown. The results of syngas conversion under microsecond pulses (amplitude up to 12 kV and frequency of 1000Hz) treatment in the five-tube reactor were discussed. The dependence of the methane formation on the volume flow rate and the energy input were studied. Also effect of inert gases (by the example of nitrogen) addition in the initial gaseous mixture on the methane formation was investigated.
