Decomposition of natural gas or methane using cold arc discharge

摘要: A cold arc discharge is used to decompose natural gas or methane into its gaseous constituents and carbon in the form of solid particles. The obtained are mainly hydrogen acetylene they produced admixture with unreacted methane. generated by a pulsating high voltage imparted through capacitor electrode plurality electrodes capacitor- connected placed reaction zone. apparatus for performing this process may have tubular reactor cylindrical ground middle outer wall which extend also shaft made dielectric material embedded, being surrounded electrode. Natural passed zone where it subjected discharges resulting products flow out particles separated from remaining gases that then analysed.
