| Abstract | Three different experimental investigations of gliding arc performance on decomposing chlorinated methanes. methane conversion, CO, conversion were performed. The gliding arc plasma was generated by 2 plates of triangular electrodes which were connected to the high frequency AC power supply. Decomposition of chlorinated methanes was done by vaporizing those component first. from liquid into gaseous phase, and mixed with atmospheric air before entering the reactor. In all range of experiment, the plasma products were dominated by CO, CO,_. and C1,_. Small amount of transformation among those materials was founded. In case of methane conversion, pure methane injection was done first and the major product were dominated by solid carbon, hydrogen. and acetylene. Simple kinetic and heat balance calculations were provided to know the pathway of plasma reaction. Increasing of CO, concentration made the methane conversion decreased. He. Ar. and N, gave a positive effect on methane conversion at every range of experiment condition compared to the pure methane injection. The conversion of CO, by gliding arc was experimentally investigated also. The conversion was not exceeding than 20% and the produces were mostly consisted of CO and O,. Using kinetic model, it showed that high active oxygen molecule played important role on governing the way of reaction. |
