Abstract
Non-thermal plasma appears as a promising alternative technology to develop the electrification of the petrochemical industry. Non-thermal plasma has the advantage of operating at atmospheric pressure and room temperature in “on/off” mode. The high-energy electrons generated are able to activate many reactants allowing thermodynamically unfavorable reactions to occur. Methane coupling is particularly important to produce C2 hydrocarbons, especially ethylene known as a platform chemical for the synthesis of many products. In this review, the state-of-the-art of plasma and plasma-catalysis for methane coupling is described. Focus is given on plasma chemistry and the influence of different parameters related to plasma reactors and gas composition are discussed. The role of a catalyst coupled with plasma is detailed and synergies are explained for various catalytic compositions.
期刊介绍:
Progress in Energy and Combustion Science (PECS) publishes review articles covering all aspects of energy and combustion science. These articles offer a comprehensive, in-depth overview, evaluation, and discussion of specific topics. Given the importance of climate change and energy conservation, efficient combustion of fossil fuels and the development of sustainable energy systems are emphasized. Environmental protection requires limiting pollutants, including greenhouse gases, emitted from combustion and other energy-intensive systems. Additionally, combustion plays a vital role in process technology and materials science.
PECS features articles authored by internationally recognized experts in combustion, flames, fuel science and technology, and sustainable energy solutions. Each volume includes specially commissioned review articles providing orderly and concise surveys and scientific discussions on various aspects of combustion and energy. While not overly lengthy, these articles allow authors to thoroughly and comprehensively explore their subjects. They serve as valuable resources for researchers seeking knowledge beyond their own fields and for students and engineers in government and industrial research seeking comprehensive reviews and practical solutions.
