Heating effect of plasma catalytic reaction on the CH4 reforming of CO2 over Ni/gamma-Al2O3 catalyst in dielectric-barrier discharge reactor
CH4 reforming Of CO2 reaction for producing synthesis gas (syngas) was performed using dielectric-barrier discharge (DBD) with catalyst. Ni/gamma-Al2O3 was used as a catalyst. To investigate the effect of reaction temperature, extra heating was applied outside of the plasma reactor. When supplied extra heating, pure syngas could be obtained only at 573 K. It is a noticeable result comparing with pure catalytic reaction or plasma reaction only.
