Area of research:

Hydrogen production from water-gas shift reaction using cold plasma (Dielectric Barrier Discharge)

Description:

In Water Gas Shift (WGS) reaction, carbon monoxide (CO) and steam (H2O) react to produce hydrogen (H2) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Generally catalysts are used during this reaction. Cold plasma is a new technique which can be used to produce hydrogen from WGSR and eliminates the need for catalysts.

Methodology:

Experimental study on cold plasma based water-gas shift reaction.
