Dissociation of Co2 in a Radio-frequency Plasma Source
نویسندگان
چکیده
Current dependence on fossil fuels to satisfy increasing energy needs has created an overabundance of CO2 emissions. This project aims to use a radio frequency (rf) plasma source to dissociate CO2 completely into solid carbon and gaseous oxygen to reduce CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. An rf plasma excited by a double helix antenna with an axial magnetic field is used to create the CO2 discharge. This paper presents an analysis of the species present in the CO2 plasma based on data taken from a residual gas analyzer. The main products of the CO2 dissociation were found to be CO and O2. Future work will involve using an atmospheric pressure glow discharge for practical real world application to dissociate CO2.
