Decomposition of Ethanol in a Surface Wave Discharge at Atmospheric Pressure

Surface wave discharges at atmospheric pressure for synthesis processes are attractive since low power and flow gas are required; in addition, no catalyst is necessary. These features have been used to develop a process for hydrogen production using ethanol as a reagent. Different plasma gas flows h...

Description
Summary:Surface wave discharges at atmospheric pressure for synthesis processes are attractive since low power and flow gas are required; in addition, no catalyst is necessary. These features have been used to develop a process for hydrogen production using ethanol as a reagent. Different plasma gas flows have been used, resulting in a different magnitude of alcohol decomposition. Images of the resulting plasmas are presented.
