“…Among several alternatives, electricity‐driven nonequilibrium plasma processes are considered to be very attractive contenders for energy efficient nitrogen fixation . It is worth noting that nitrogen fixation via nonthermal plasma (NTP) offers an opportunity to produce fossil‐free nitrogen‐containing compounds at a considerably lower theoretical energy consumption .…”

The production of NO x from air and air 1 O 2 is investigated in a pulsed powered milli-scale gliding arc (GA) reactor, aiming at a containerized process for fertilizer production. Influence of feed mixture, flow rate, temperature, and Ar and O 2 content are investigated at varying specific energy input. The findings are correlated with high-speed imaging of the GA dynamics. An O 2 content of 40-48% was optimum, with an enhancement of 11% in NO x production. Addition of Ar and preheating of the feed resulted in lower NO x production. Lower flow rates produced higher NO x concentrations due to longer residence time in the GA. The volume covered by GA depends strongly on the gas flow rate, emphasizing that the gas flow rate has a major impact on the GA dynamics and the reaction kinetics. For 0.5 L/min, 1.4 vol % of NO x concentration was realized, which is promising for a containerized process plant to produce fertilizer in remote locations.
