- Description
- The reaction of CCl₂F₂ (CFC-12) with methane (in an argon bath gas) in a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) non-thermal plasma reactor at atmospheric pressure has been investigated. The reaction (where oxygen and nitrogen are excluded from the feed gas) produced a range of gas phase products, including H₂, HCl, HF, CHF₃, CF₃CH₂F, CHClF₂, CH₃Cl, CH₂ClF, CH₂Cl₂, CHCl₂F and CHCl₃ as well as solid products which were primarily non-crosslinked polymers. The conversion of CCl₂F₂ increased, from 44 to 71%, when the input energy density of the plasma was raised from 3 to 13 kJ · L−1 (applied voltage range is 13.4–14.8 kV, peak-peak). The relatively low input feed concentration of CCl₂F₂ and methane in the argon bath gas modifies the strong filamentary appearance of the pure argon discharge to a more diffuse appearance.
