Ethanol reforming in non-equilibrium plasma of glow discharge
D. Levko, A. Tsymbalyuk
TL;DR
This paper presents a detailed kinetic analysis of ethanol reforming in non-equilibrium plasma, demonstrating how hydrogen is produced through various chemical pathways and validating the model with experimental data.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive kinetic mechanism for ethanol plasma reforming and confirms its accuracy against experimental measurements.
Findings
Hydrogen is mainly generated via ethanol H-abstraction initially.
Hydrogen formation involves active H, CH2OH, CH3CHOH, and formaldehyde.
The kinetic model accurately predicts species concentrations at reactor outlet.
Abstract
The results of a detailed kinetic study of the main plasma chemical processes in non-equilibrium ethanol/argon plasma are presented. It is shown that at the beginning of the discharge the molecular hydrogen is mainly generated in the reaction of ethanol H-abstraction. Later hydrogen is formed from active H, CH2OH and CH3CHOH and formaldehyde. Comparison with experimental data has shown that the used kinetic mechanism predicts well the concentrations of main species at the reactor outlet.
