Review of catalysis and plasma performance on dry reforming of CH4 and possible synergistic effects

A review of plasma-assisted catalytic conversion of gaseous carbon dioxide and methane into value-added platform chemicals and fuels

“…On the other hand, with a Fe 2 O 3 -CuO/g-Al 2 O 3 catalyst, CH 3 OH yield was 68% higher than that of pure Al 2 O 3 at 200 C. Whilst in the case of a two stage plasma reactor, the maximum CH 3 OH yield achieved with the Fe 2 O 3 -CuO/g-Al 2 O 3 catalyst was only 21% higher at a temperature of 150 C. By introducing the catalyst in the plasma zone, it was possible to reduce the unwanted ozone emission in the outlet. 19,244 However, the catalyst embedded in the discharge zone was more prone to carbon deposition and consequent deactivation. 243 Some researchers currently focus on the efficiency of various plasma catalytic systems to oxidize CH 4 into liquid fuels in the presence of oxides of nitrogen like N 2 O.…”

Preparation, modification and development of Ni-based catalysts for catalytic reforming of tar produced from biomass gasification

“…For example, previous articles focused on reviewing different technologies for tar removal, such as physical methods, thermal removal, catalytic reforming, plasma reforming and partial oxidation, etc. [30][31][32][33]. In addition, some other review papers focused on catalytic reforming of tar by categorizing the catalysts as nickel-based catalysts, non-nickel based catalysts, alkali metal catalysts, basic catalysts, acid catalysts, active carbon catalysts, etc.…”

Catalytic Reaction Assisted by Plasma or Electric Field

“…For non‐conventional processes using non‐equilibrium atmospheric plasma, several methods have been proposed: corona plasma, microwave plasma, pulsed spark discharge, dielectric barrier discharge, and gliding arc discharge . These methods include the use of non‐equilibrium plasma, for which the electron temperature is high and the gas‐phase temperature is ambient or not so high.…”
