Abstract

Microwave-induced non-thermal plasma technology is a promising solution to dissociate carbon dioxide, opening the possibility of carbon dioxide upgrade to value-added products and therefore providing an attractive approach in recent decarbonization endeavors. This study aims to comprehensively characterize and optimize microwave-induced pure carbon dioxide plasma focusing on the enhancement of conversion and energy efficiency. Analysis of optical emission spectra and gas composition under varying flow rates, introduced microwave power, and operating pressures was performed, while specific calculations were applied to support the measurement including electron concentration, electron temperature, and plasma gas temperature. A characteristic curve of carbon dioxide plasma is introduced as a novel outcome, which helps to elucidate the positive impact of applying reduced pressure. 46.4% carbon dioxide conversion efficiency was demonstrated by applying 5 NL·h−1 flow rate, 80 mbar, and with 14.5 MJ·mol−1 molar energy input utilizing only neat carbon dioxide, and achieved with continuous operation, without using any catalyst, in a straight waveguide system. The results indicate that lowering the pressure enhances the specific power absorption of plasma from the electromagnetic field through electron collisions, which increases the carbon dioxide conversion instead of converting it into heat.

微波诱导等离子体的二氧化碳转化与表征
微波诱导的非热等离子体技术是一种很有前途的解离二氧化碳的解决方案,打开了二氧化碳升级为增值产品的可能性,因此在最近的脱碳努力中提供了一种有吸引力的方法。本研究旨在全面表征和优化微波诱导纯二氧化碳等离子体,重点是提高转换效率和能源效率。分析了不同流量、微波功率和操作压力下的光学发射光谱和气体成分,同时应用了具体的计算来支持测量,包括电子浓度、电子温度和等离子体气体温度。介绍了二氧化碳等离子体的特征曲线,作为一个新的结果,有助于阐明施加减压的积极影响。在直波导系统中,以5 NL·h−1的流量,80 mbar, 14.5 MJ·mol−1的摩尔能量输入,仅使用纯二氧化碳,在不使用任何催化剂的情况下连续运行,二氧化碳转化率达到46.4%。结果表明,降低压力增强了等离子体通过电子碰撞对电磁场的比功率吸收,增加了二氧化碳的转化,而不是将其转化为热量。
