Abstract
Coupling and reforming of methane with carbon dioxide were studied at room temperature and 773 K in a pulsed plasma. Methane and carbon dioxide could be converted mainly to ethylene, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen at room temp erature. At 773 K, the main product was ethane at a low pulse frequency and ethylene at a high pulse frequency. The energy efficiency can be significa ntly improved by using a high pulse frequency and high temperature.
