Abstract

The results of experimental investigations of the conversion of ethanol in a high-voltage atmospheric-pressure discharge have been presented. The influence of the energy parameters of the discharge on the yield and energy cost of conversion products has been investigated. It has been established that the minimum energy cost of hydrogen is possible in regimes of discharge burning with a maximum degree of nonequilibrium of the plasma.
