Oxidative conversion of a mixture of natural gas and oxygen in a barrier-discharge plasma-chemical reaction was investigated experimentally. The process was conducted at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. The discharge was initiated by high-voltage pulses of 50-100 mu s duration at a repetition frequency of up to 2 kHz. The principal feature of the process was that in the plasma-chemical reactor conditions were created which stimulated the condensation of the products of incomplete oxidation of methane that resulted in the formation of aerosol even from nonsaturated vapor. The removal of intermediate reagents from the gaseous phases into the aerosol prevented them from further oxidation. Depending on the experimental conditions, the mass percentage of the components of the condensate formed varied within the following limits:formic acid from 20 to 40%, methanol from 8 to 15%, methylformate from 4 to 8%, and coater from 40 to 60%. The conversion process has been realized on a laboratory setup of average power up to 1 kW. In the single-pass merle, a 57% degree of conversion of the mixture has been achieved. The energy value of the condensate is 15-20 kWh/kg.
