Abstract:Hydrocarbon processing using plasmas has tremendous potential,
yet there still exist many uncertainties pertaining to practical operation
over long durations. Previously, it has been demonstrated that a nonthermal
plasma operating in a DC glow regime can transform methane into C2
species (acetylene, ethylene, ethane) in a microreactor. Using a DC
glow regime in a microchannel reactor allows for lower power consumption,
at the expense of greater consequence of fouling. Since biogas can
be a source of methane, a… Show more
