Dry reforming in a dielectric barrier discharge reactor with non-uniform discharge gap: Effects of metal rings on the discharge behavior and performance

Improving the Performance of Gliding Arc Plasma-Catalytic Dry Reforming Via a New Post-Plasma Tubular Catalyst Bed

“…The product obtained from the plasma DRM reaction mainly contains syngas (H 2 /CO), as well as hydrocarbons and oxygenates [8][9][10][11][12][13]. Extensive investigation for plasma-based DRM has been done with various types of plasma technologies, such as dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) [10,[14][15][16][17][18][19], radio-frequency (RF) discharges [20][21][22], glow discharges [13,23], microwave (MW) discharges [24][25][26][27], corona discharges [28,29], and gliding arc (GA) discharges [8,[30][31][32][33][34][35]. It is worth to note that the GA plasma is a promising plasma type for DRM, as it can generate electrons with an energy of around 1 eV, which is ideal for the CO 2 vibrational excitation during the dissociation process [31,36,37].…”
