An Investigation into the Production of Longer Hydrocarbons, Synthesis Gas, and Ammonia via a Nonthermal Plasma Microreactor

Creator:

Reddick, Ian T.

Abstract:

Nonthermal electrical plasmas can allow energy intensive reactions to occur without the use of high operating temperatures or pressures. This is because the collisions of electrons accelerated through an electric field with molecules is the cause of reactions as opposed to thermal collisions between molecules. In this study, the production...

Production of C4-C10 Hydrocarbons from CO₂, H₂O, CO, H₂ and CH₄ Utilizing DC Glow Discharges, Catalytic Rapid Temperature Pulsing in Micro-Scale Reactors.

Creator:

Mohamed, Omar M.

Abstract:

This thesis experimentally determines the feasibility to creating C4 to C10 hydrocarbons from CO2, CO, H2, H2O and CH4. This is done in two steps, the initial step is the formation of ethylene through DC electrical glow discharge at ambient pressure while the second step is through temperature pulse controlled...
