Thermal approaches have played a dominant role in driving chemical reactions within the chemicals and fuels industries, benefiting from ongoing enhancements efficiency via heat integration, catalyst development, process intensification. Nevertheless, these traditional thermal remain heavily reliant on fossil fuels, there exists an urgent demand for implementation of renewable energy technologies to synthesize commodity chemicals, specialty chemicals. Nonthermal plasmas gained considerable...
Nonthermal plasma activation of N2 can facilitate nitrogen adsorption on metal catalysts at low bulk temperatures and atmospheric pressure. We apply a plasma-assisted temperature-programmed reaction (plasma-TPRxn) for ammonia (NH3) synthesis using sequential exposure silica-supported catalyst to followed by thermal hydrogen treatment while ramping the temperature decouple from surface catalyzed hydrogenation steps. This approach eliminates effects phase reactions, thereby allowing direct...
