Methanol decomposition using a catalytic reactor with electric discharge
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methanol decomposition using a catalytic reactor with electric discharges was investigated in the present study. The methanol conversion at 190 °C was 58.0%; however, the methanol conversion increased by 65.9% under the electric discharge. An electric discharge produces high energy electrons with sufficient energy to break a C-OH bond.

Improved performance of non-thermal plasma reactor during decomposition of trichloroethylene: Optimization of the reactor geometry and introduction of catalytic electrode
The decomposition of trichloroethylene (TCE) by non-thermal plasma was investigated in a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor with a copper rod inner electrode and compared with a plasma-catalytic reactor. The particularity of the plasma-catalytic reactor is the inner electrode made of sintered metal fibers (SMF) coated by transition metal oxides. In order to optimize the geometry of the ...

We are investigating catalytically enhanced production of singlet oxygen, O2(aΔg), observed by reaction of O2/He discharge effluents on an iodine oxide film surface in a microwave discharge-flow reactor at 320 K. We have previously reported a two-fold increase in the O2(a) yields by this process, and corresponding enhancement of I(P1/2) excitation and small-signal gain upon injection of I2. In ...

−The vapor-phase MTBE decomposition was examined in a shell and tube-type catalytic membrane reactor (CMR). 12-Tungstophosphoric acid (PW) was used as a catalyst and poly-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide (PPO) was used as a polymer material. A single-phase CMR (PW-PPO/Al2O3, type-1) and a composite CMR (PW-PPO/ PPO/Al2O3, type-2) were successfully designed and characterized. It was revealed tha...

A novel catalytic reactor with dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) at atmospheric pressure was developed for the abatement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The novelty of DBD reactor is the metallic catalyst serving also as the inner electrode. The catalytic electrode was prepared from sintered metal fibers (SMF) in the form of a cylindrical tube. Oxides of Mn and Co were deposited on SMF b...
