Effects of Catalysts in Carbon Dioxide Reforming of Methane via Corona Plasma…

The effects of two kinds of representative catalysts, Ni/Al2O3 and HZSM-5 zeolite, were investigated in the CO2 reforming of CH4 via corona plasma reactions at atmospheric pressure. The catalysts showed little effect on the conversions of CH4 and CO2, and we propose that rapid free-radical processes play a main role during the plasma reactions. However, although a high-voltage electric field…
