Employing plasma as catalyst in hydrogen production
A never approach in hydrogen production via reforming of hydrocarbons that will use catalytic properties of non-equilibrium plasma gas discharge is presented. CH4/CO2 mixtures are heated to a temperature of 900 degrees C, so that mixture will have approximately 80% of the energy required for thermal reforming. Preheated mixtures are then processed in a pulsed Corona Discharge type plasma source and the catalytic effect of a non-equilibrium plasma is observed for promotion of hydrogen generation.
