Plasma-based conversion of CO2 and CH4 into syngas: A dive into the effect of adding water

Effect of O2 on Plasma-Based Dry Reforming of Methane: Revealing the Optimal Gas Composition via Experiments and Modeling of an Atmospheric Pressure Glow Discharge

“…As almost all O 2 is “used” (converted) in this case, while we also near the safety explosion limit, we should introduce a different oxidizing agent for the solid carbon. The addition of H 2 O could be beneficial, as it creates OH radicals, which also destroy solid carbon particles, as observed in a hydrocarbon flame study by Wang et al We have also recently demonstrated this, in a very similar reactor setup as used in this work …”

“…H 2 O. Hence, the combined conversion of CO 2 and CH 4 with H 2 O addition, i.e., so-called bireforming of methane, could be of interest and has been experimentally investigated by Wanten et al…”
