Chemical processing using non-thermal discharge plasma

摘要: A method for activating chemical reactions using a non-thermal capillary discharge plasma (NT-CDP) unit or slot (NT-SDP) (collectively referred to as “NT-CDP/SDP”). The NT-CDP/SDP includes first electrode disposed between two dielectric layers, wherein the and layers having at least one opening (e.g., slot) defined therethrough. sleeve inserted into opening, second in shape of pin, ring, metal wire, tapered blade) is fluid communication with an associated opening. emitted from when voltage differential applied electrodes. Chemical feedstock be treated then exposed plasma. This processing suited following exemplary (i) partial oxidation hydrocarbon produce functionalized organic compounds; (ii) stabilization polymer fiber PAN precursor carbon production; (iii) pre-reforming higher chain length petroleum hydrocarbons generate suitable reforming; (iv) natural gas reforming chemically reducing atmosphere ammonia urea) monoxide Hydrogen gas; (v) enhanced water shifting.
