Abstract: | Dry reforming of CH4 with CO2 to produce syngas was investigated in a plasma reactor without catalysts at atmospheric pressure. The reactants passed through
the plasma zone and reacted in milliseconds with high conversions and selectivity due to the localized high temperature. The
results showed that both conversions and selectivity were higher when using a DC arc discharge than using a pulsed DC arc.
Increasing the input energy density promoted the conversions of reactants. At an input power of 204 W, the conversions of
CO2 and CH4 reached 99.3 and 99.6%, respectively, and the selectivity to products was almost 100%, where the molar ratio of CO2/CH4 was 1 with the reactants flow rate of 100 ml/min. Very little coke was formed during the course of reaction. Key parameters
such as the pulse frequency, the input power and the total feed flow rate were studied to find the optimum operating condition. |
