Hydrogen and By-Products Formation After the Decomposition of Ethanol by Means of a Microwave Plasma Torch at Atmospheric Pressure

Argon TIAGO torch plasma in air ambience has been studied to produce the decomposition of ethanol obtaining hydrogen at the plasma exit. Dependence of by-products formed on ethanol flows has been studied. Ethanol molecules were completely decomposed, and an important conversion to hydrogen was obtai...

Description
Summary:Argon TIAGO torch plasma in air ambience has been studied to produce the decomposition of ethanol obtaining hydrogen at the plasma exit. Dependence of by-products formed on ethanol flows has been studied. Ethanol molecules were completely decomposed, and an important conversion to hydrogen was obtained. Images of plasma generated in these conditions are presented.
