Abstract
Described herein are systems and methods for nonequilibrium plasmas. In particular, described herein are methods to achieve sustained operation of plasma reactors contained in electrically insulating tubes, high power radiofrequency plasma devices using capacitively coupled electrodes, and methods to produce a carbonaceous compound and hydrogen using a nonequilibrium plasma device.
Claims7
A plasma device comprising:
- a plasma discharge tube, wherein the plasma discharge tube is made of a dielectric material;
- at least one pair of electrodes disposed along the plasma discharge tube in series;
- and
- a plurality of fluid connectors connecting the electrode of each pair of electrodes together and connecting each pair of electrodes to at least one other pair of electrodes to provide a coolant flow path through all of the electrodes in series.
