Synergistic effect of dielectric barrier discharge plasma and Mn catalyst on CO2 reforming of toluene

The present contribution experimentally examined the combined effect of non-thermal plasma and Mn-based composite catalysts on CO2 reforming toluene as a model compound tars in synthesis gas production from biomass gasification pyrolysis. experimentation was performed using fixed-bed reactor packed with catalyst incorporating dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) to generate in-situ. effects specific energy density (SED), loading, concentration yields H2, CO light hydrocarbons (such CH4, C2H6 C2H2) were systematically studied potential synergistic mechanism for catalytic by is proposed. experimental results indicate that perform similarly well has previously been observed literature O2 agent.
