A single step methane conversion into synthetic fuels using microplasma reactor

Dielectric barrier discharge plasma for preparation of Ni-based catalysts with enhanced coke resistance: Current status and perspective

“…Ni-based catalysts have been extensively applied for CO methanation, CO 2 or stream reforming of methane, partial oxidation of methane, water gas shift reaction, and others because of the high activity, low cost, and plentiful resources of nickel [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. The catalytic performance of Ni catalysts in CO or CH 4 reactions has been widely studied [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30].…”

Gas-to-liquids process using multi-phase flow, non-thermal plasma microreactor

“…Microplasmas in confined microchannels were used for the purpose of nanostructure synthesis [17][18][19][20], decomposition of volatile organic compounds [21][22][23][24] and chemical synthesis [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. Recently, Nozaki et al reported a direct and selective synthesis of oxygenates via methane partial oxidation at room temperature using a non-thermal discharge microreactor [33][34][35]. Heat generated by methane partial oxidation was removed efficiently in a microreactor configuration.…”

Non-thermal plasma catalysis of methane: Principles, energy efficiency, and applications

“…Finally, great flexibility exists in terms of electrode and reactor configurations. The combination of DBD and micro-reactors [58], adsorbent and catalyst pellets [59][60][61][62], gas-to-liquid interface (multi-phase flow) [63], and fluidized beds [64] is a rapidly growing field of plasma science and technology. Moreover, a reactor can be constructed using inexpensive materials such as glass and polymers.…”
