Nevertheless, there is a substantial release of CO2 for the traditional industrial ammonia synthesis process. Plasma catalysis can activate gas molecules and lower activation energy, making it a promising avenue for this reaction. The current study reveals that ammonia decomposition within the plasma discharge region significantly limits ammonia production for in-plasma catalysis (IPC) configuration. On the other hand, for post-plasma catalysis (PPC) configuration, the densities of reactive species will decrease when migrating to the downstream catalyst region, which is unfavorable for plasma catalytic ammonia synthesis. Therefore, the performances of ammonia synthesis under different plasma catalytic configurations have been investigated with the catalyst of Ni/Al2O3. In experiments with a N2:H2 flow rate ratio of 3:1, the ammonia concentration under PPC configuration was \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$224.53~mu $ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000mol/h, while the synthesis rate under IPC configuration reached \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$592.30~mu $ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000mol/h. This indicates that the catalyst located in the discharge zone accelerates ammonia synthesis under ambient temperature. Furthermore, ammonia synthesis experiments were conducted under IPC and PPC configurations at different temperatures. Experimental results show higher ammonia concentrations with IPC configuration at temperatures below 200 °C. Beyond 200 °C, the ammonia concentrations between the two configurations become closer. Finally, the ammonia synthesis reaction mechanisms under IPC and PPC configurations are analyzed, which help to clarify the difference in ammonia synthesis performance under IPC and PPC configurations.","PeriodicalId":450,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142175251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To assist the plasma discharge and generate considerable plasma current in GLAST-III, high-power microwave sources can indeed play an important role in noninductive startups of plasma discharges such as electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH). A power-enhanced pulsed microwave source (2.45 GHz and 1.6 kW) has previously been developed and tested at PTPRI. However, higher powers are required to increase the generated charge density for effective pre-ionization. Therefore, a microwave pre-ionization source (up to 20 kW at 2.45 GHz) is installed on GLAST-III to reduce the high-loop voltage requirement during the plasma start-up. ECRH has been effectively utilized for this purpose. In this article, an economical high-power microwave source is fabricated by coupling low-power magnetrons in a waveguide. We employed Walton multiplier circuits for the first time to operate two magnetrons coupled for power addition. The coupling of two magnetrons due to constructive interference is demonstrated successfully during continuous as well as pulsed operation. The scheme can be made more effective in future studies by injection locking of magnetrons. These innovative low-cost schemes can play a pivotal role in carrying out microwave studies on spherical tokamaks such as GLAST-III.","PeriodicalId":450,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142175253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
