This paper discusses our recent results on plasma-based CO2 conversion, obtained by a combination of experiments and modeling, for a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD), a microwave plasma and a packed bed DBD reactor. The results illustrate that plasma technology is quite promising for CO2 conversion, but more research is needed to better understand the underlying mechanisms and to further improve the capabilities.

AbstractAn ozone production using pulse voltage driven dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor was investigated experimentally to clarify an influence of a duty factor of applied pulse voltage on ozone yield. A square of 10 kV applied voltage was generated using a pulse modulator. Insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) switches were employed to generate the square pulse with 1 kHz in pulse repetition rate. Duty factor of the pulse voltage was controlled in range from 10 to 80% by timing of a gate signal to the IGBT switches. The output voltages of the power supply were applied to a multipoint electrode type DBD reactor in order to operate at low applied voltage. The ozone yield was obtained to be around 100 g/kWh at several thousands ppm ozone production in pure oxygen circumstance at 5 L/min. gas flow. The ozone yield decreased with increasing ozone concentration and was almost independent of the duty factor of square applied voltage under the present experimental condition. Power loss consumed in the pulse modulator was successfully reduced by decreasing duty factor of the output voltage without decrease of the ozone production.

In order to make full use of the heat in nonthermal plasma systems and decrease the generation of by-products, a reverse-flow nonthermal plasma reactor coupled with catalyst was used for the abatement of toluene. In this study, the toluene degradation performance of different reactors was compared under the same conditions. The mechanism of toluene abatement by nonthermal plasma coupled with catalyst was explored, combined with the generation of ozone (O3), NO2, and organic by-products during the reaction process. It was found that a long reverse cycle time of the reactor and a short residence time of toluene decreased the internal reactor temperature, which was not beneficial for the degradation of toluene. Compared with the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor, toluene degradation efficiency in the double dielectric barrier discharge (DDBD) reactor was improved at the same discharge energy level, but the concentrations of NO2 and O3 in the effluent were relatively high; this was improved after the introduction of a catalyst. In the reverse-flow nonthermal plasma reactor coupled with catalyst, the CO2 selectivity was the highest, while the selectivity and amount of NO2 was the lowest and aromatics, acids, and ketones were the main gaseous organic by-products in the effluent. The reverse-flow DBD-catalyst reactor was successful in decreasing organic by-products, while the types of organic by-products in the DDBD reactor were much more than those in the DBD reactor.
