Gliding arc plasma processing of CO2 conversion.

Conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) using gliding arc plasma was performed. The research was done to investigate the effect of variation of total gas flow rates and addition of auxiliary gases--N2, O2, air, water--to the CO2 conversion process. This system shows higher power efficiency than other nonthermal plasma methods.

Decomposition of CCl4 and CHCl3 on gliding are plasma.

Decomposition of chlorinated hydrocarbons, CCl4 and CHCl3, in gliding plasma was examined. The effects of initial concentrations, total gas flow rates, and power consumption have been investigated. The conversion result was relatively high.
