Influence of the gas mixture temperature on the efficiency of synthesis gas production from ethanol in a nonequilibrium plasma

Renewable Hydrogen Production by Alcohols Reforming Using Plasma and Plasma-Catalytic Technologies: Challenges and Opportunities

“…Increasing the reaction temperature of the gas mixture may increase ethanol conversion and hydrogen production, accompanied by a corresponding increase in the selectivities of H 2 , CO, CO 2 , and CH 4 and a decrease in the selectivities of acetaldehyde, acetone, and ethylene . Because the gas mixture still reaches a relatively high temperature in the postdischarge region, the conversion is effective after the discharge is quenched . Tsymbalyuk et al (Ukraine) attributed the effect of high temperature to the increased rate of electronic–molecular reactions.…”

“…Because the gas mixture still reaches a relatively high temperature in the postdischarge region, the conversion is effective after the discharge is quenched . Tsymbalyuk et al (Ukraine) attributed the effect of high temperature to the increased rate of electronic–molecular reactions. They also demonstrated that H 2 /CO increases with temperature, whereas the concentration of hydrocarbons decreases.…”

Efficient Conversion of Ethanol to Hydrogen in a Hybrid Plasma-Catalytic Reactor

“…The most important advantage of using the plasma-catalytic reactor was the possibility of achieving high selectivity of CO 2 production. CO was the main carbon-containing product [10,27,[31][32][33][34][35][36] in the plasma reactors. CO 2 was produced many times less than CO in these reactors.…”
