355-nm photodissociation of CH4 and production of hydrogen

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

The use of laser-photodissociation for direct conversion of methane into hydrogen and higher hydrocarbons was demonstrated. A cell equipped with pressure and temperature sensors, heating arrangements, quartz windows at both ends was designed to carry out laser excitation process. A gas chromatographic system equipped with a capillary column in a temperature programmed oven was used to characterize the stabilized reaction products. The emission lines of atomic hydrogen, CH were measured to be 3969 nm and 656.2 nm respectively whlie H2 Flucher band was found to appear between 580-625 nm.
