Non-Thermal Plasma Technology for CO2 Conversion—An Overview of the Most Relevant Experimental Results and Kinetic Models

Global warming, along with increasing global energy demands, has led to the need for a sustainable and low-carbon-based economy. In addition renewable technologies, such as biomass, solar, hydro, wind, another possible strategy mitigate climate change is capture/conversion recycling of CO2. recent years, many methods both CO2 capture (mainly adsorption, absorption, membrane) conversion (many electrolysis, catalyst, plasma) have been investigated. Conversion technology less studied but seems be very promising. Within that, non-thermal plasma received much interest because it works at low temperatures atmospheric pressure, there no high temperature electricity consumption, which are typical catalyst electrolysis processes, respectively. Therefore, in order optimize this emerging technology, simulative kinetic models developed aim maximizing efficiency conversion. present paper, an overview most common technologies was carried out highlight advantages disadvantages each method. Then, significant available literature point main reactions occurring during also parameters that affect performance reactor brief recap on economic studies process given.
