Abstract
Destruction of ethane in corona discharge was studied using a tubular coaxial wire AC high-voltage dielectric barrier discharge flow reactor coupled to a GC/MS and a quadrupole mass-spectrometer. The experiments were performed at ambient temperature (295 ± 3 K) and pressure (1.00 ± 0.04 bar). Mixtures of 12, 109, 1033 and 10000 ppm ethane in synthetic air (21% O2, 79% N2) were passed through the reactor with the flow rates in the range 0.17 - 4.8 sees. The active discharge power was varied in the range 0.01 - 8.0 W. The reactant (ethane) and the products of the destruction were monitored on line using the electron impact MS as well as the GC/MS. The degree of the destruction was measured at different ethane concentrations, flow rates, and the discharge powers. The measured dependences of ethane concentration on the specific absorbed energy are double-exponential. The energy efficiencies and the G-values were determined. In addition to H2O and CO2, acetic acid (CH3COOH)5 ethyl nitrate (C2H5ONO2), methyl nitrate (CH3ONO2), ethanol (C2H5OH), and nitromethane (CH3NO2) were identified among the major destruction products. The experimental results are in discrepancy with a detailed free-radical reaction based model. The discrepancy in the destruction energy efficiency increases at low concentrations of ethane and reaches a factor of 10000 at 12 ppm.
