摘要
Surface discharge plasma reactors (SDRs) have been shown to be effective in removing a wide range of pollutants. In this study, the effectiveness of a SDR for the removal of propane and propene from an atmospheric pressure air stream was investigated. For an input energy of 100 J L-1, the conversions were found to be 16% and 68% for propane and propene, respectively. The total carbon recovery was found to increase with increasing specific input energy (SIE) for both hydrocarbons. FTIR analysis showed that CO and CO2 are the major end-products, and GC-MS identified formic acid as a significant byproduct. The effect of initial propane concentration was also investigated. The reaction chemistry involved in the oxidative plasma conversion of propane and propene is discussed.
