| Description: | THE DISCH4RG3D PROJECT WILL DEVELOP A CATALYTIC NANOSECOND PULSED DISCHARGE (NPD) PLASMA REACTOR FOR SINGLE-PASS UPGRADING OF CH4 INTO C2H4 WITH ENERGY REQUIREMENT COMPETITIVE WITH THE STATE-OF-THE-ART INDUSTRIAL BENCHMARK (I.E., 600 KJ/MOLC2H4). THE REACTOR CONFIGURATION ENTAILS A PLATE-TO-PLATE PLASMA DISCHARGE FOR CH4 ACTIVATION FOLLOWED BY A CATALYTIC STEP WHERE ACETYLENE (C2H2) HYDROGENATION INTO C2H4 ENHANCES THE PROCESS THROUGHPUT. |
