Ethanol conversion in a barrier discharge

Technical Physics Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The efficiency of ethanol conversion in glow and barrier discharges is analyzed. It is established that ethanol conversion occurs more effectively in a glow discharge at the same electrical power. In principle, this is due to the difference in the production of active atoms and radicals in both types of discharge. The main channels of H2 and CO generation in both discharges and methods of increasing the conversion in a barrier discharge are discussed.
