Effective Combination of Nonthermal Plasma and Catalyst

摘要

The effective combination of plasma energy and solid surface properties was investigated using packed-bed type catalyst-hybrid and adsorbent-hybrid reactors that were packed with the mixture of BaTiO_3 pellets and other ceramic pellets (catalyst or adsorbent). The plasma reactor using catalysts indicated the improvement of CO_2 selectivity and the suppression of N_2O formation compared with the reactor packed with BaTiO_3 alone. Furthermore, the catalyst and adsorbent positions in plasma reactor were very important for the induction of surface reaction on the packed materials. It was found that the catalysts and adsorbent in the plasma reactor were useful in changing product selectivity and enhancing energy efficiency.
