摘要/Abstract

摘要： Conversion of methane by steam reforming was carried out by means of dielectric-barrier discharge.A systemic procedure was employed to determine the suitable experimental conditions.It was found that one of the plasma generators can match the system best.A higher power input can always bring a higher conversion,but the selectivity to C₂H₆ decreased from 52.48% to 39.43% as the power increased from 20W to 49W.When discharge distance was 4mm,selectivities to almost all main products reached the max.The inner electrode made of stainless steel and the outer electrode with aluminum foil were one of the best options which can obviously enhance the conversion of methane.A larger flow rate always resulted in a lower conversion of methane.In the most time,19.93% steam promoted conversion of methane.
