Plasma-Enhanced Methane Direct Conversion over Particle-Size Adjusted MOx/Al2O3 (M = Ti and Mg) Catalysts

Product analysis of methane activation using noble gases in a non-thermal plasma

“…Based on this assumption, the reaction analysis performed in this work should be reasonable, and its results agree with the experimental findings that show the predominant production of alkanes over alkenes. These results are in quite good accord with other studies that used non-thermal plasma for methane conversion [26,27].…”

Improving Plasma Regeneration Conditions of Pt–Sn/Al2O3 in Naphtha Catalytic Reforming Process Using Atmospheric DBD Plasma System

“…Changes in the weight of the sample as a function of increasing temperature (with constant heating rate) were measured by TG analysis [15]. DTA of the spent catalysts was performed to estimate coke deposit by recording any temperature difference between the sample and the Ref.…”

“…Plasma technology is a novel technique with the ability of producing an active medium for different applications such as NO oxidation [14], methane conversion [15], volatile organic compound (VOC) abatement [16], heavy oil upgrading [17], hydrogen production [18], regeneration of diesel particulate filter [19], catalyst assemble in a solution plasma process [20,21] and also catalyst regeneration at low temperatures and pressures [22,23]. In line with these applications, plasma technique can also be applied in catalyst regeneration at low temperature and pressure avoiding any internal destruction [24][25][26][27][28].…”

Coupling of CH4 to C2 Hydrocarbons in a Packed Bed DBD Plasma Reactor: The Effect of Dielectric Constant and Porosity of the Packing

“…As a consequence, the catalyst shows a different performance when used as the packing in a plasma reactor to its performance in a conventional thermal catalytic reactor. Several studies have investigated these mutual effects of plasma and catalyst on each other and their synergy for different applications such as methane reforming, CO 2 conversion, and the removal of volatile organic compounds (i.e., VOCs like toluene) [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. According to the existing literature, different parameters such as dielectric constant, surface area, porosity, packing density, and the shape of the packing are considered as the parameters that effectively change the conversion and the yield of products [11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”
