Abstract
Plasmas, both thermal and non-thermal, have been studied for the conversion of gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons into hydrogen. Plasma systems such as gliding-arc, microwave, corona, dielectric barrier discharge, arc plasma-jet, radio frequency, and other types of plasmas with or without catalysts have shown potential for the production of hydrogen. Various reactor configurations and operating conditions have been investigated to perform plasma-based hydrocarbon reactions such as steam reforming, dry auto-thermal reforming, partial oxidation, or decomposition (pyrolysis) processes. The combination of these processes in a hybrid plasma-catalytic system has also been discussed.
