A twin surface dielectric barrier discharge was used with a two-component coating to oxidize 300 ppm n-butane to CO2 and H2O in synthetic air at room temperature and at 160 ℃. The integration of BaTiO3 as a base material allowed the successful...
Pyrolysis of methane is a promising, new, greenhouse gas-free production method of hydrogen. Here, we present optical emission spectra of a microwave plasma torch operated in an argon methane mixture. Detailed spatial resolution is achieved by...
A low-pressure double-inductively coupled plasma device is used to study the fundamental plasma parameters, plasma chemistry, and UV photon emission from the first excited state of nitric oxide, NO(A), in gas mixtures of nitrogen and oxygen. In...
The presented work investigates a surface dielectric barrier discharge (SDBD) operated dry synthetic air as the working gas using a combination of experimental measurements and simulations. The primary objective is to characterize the production...
A Direct Current (DC) nanosecond (ns)-pulsed plasma jet fed with N2 at near atmospheric pressure (20 000 Pa) is studied using a transient zero-dimensional (0-D) model coupled with a two-term Boltzmann equation solver. Good agreement is observed...
This study investigates the correlation between flow fields induced by a surface dielectric barrier discharge (SDBD) system and its application for the volatile organic compound gas conversion process. As a benchmark molecule, the conversion of n...
Hydrogen production via plasma methane pyrolysis is investigated using a microwave plasma torch (MPT) and a gliding arc plasmatron (GAP). The performance of the two plasma sources in terms of methane conversion, product spectrum, and energy...
NO synthesis using plasma catalysis is analyzed in a parallel-plate atmospheric pressure RF plasma from N$_2$/O$_2$ admixed to helium exposed to Fe and Pt catalysts on a SiO$_2$ support. The NO$_x$ species are measured by Fourier-transform...
Dielectric barrier discharges (DBD) are often used for gas conversion, such as carbon dioxide splitting, volatile organic compound removal or ozone generation. Due to the tiny plasma filaments in DBD discharges, efficient mixing of the gas flow...
The plasma catalytic oxidation of n-butane diluted in a helium-oxygen RF plasma jet is used to study volatile organic compound (VOC) removal to unravel plasma catalytic synergisms. The plasma conversion is tested for a stoichiometric n-butane...
