Plasma reforming of methane in a tunable ferroelectric packed-bed dielectric barrier discharge reactor

摘要: Abstract In a tunable circular parallel plate dielectric barrier discharge reactor with pellets of ferroelectric material separating the electrodes we investigate plasma reforming methane trying to maximize both reaction yield and energetic efficiency process. The geometrical configuration (gap between electrodes, active electrode area) pellet size have been systematically varied determine their influence on process efficiency. comparison wet (with H2O as reactant), oxidative O2), dry CO2) reactions reveals higher for former CO + H2 main products. maximum EE, defined produced number litres H2 per kWh, found optimized working conditions at low-level applied power is than up date best-known results. A comprehensive discussion different parameters affecting carried out.
