Viazovik V. Intensification of endothermic stages of combustion and oxidation reactions, development of electron-catalytic processes and technologies

Dissertation is devoted to the development of technologies for the intensification of endothermic stages of combustion and oxidation reactions on hydrocarbon gases and solid hydrocarbons based on the directional action of artificially created low-temperature plasmas with the ordered motion of "slow" electrons in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst and determining the optimum conditions for carrying out these processes. A new direction has been developed in carrying out oxidation processes, which are based on the use of a low-temperature plasma with the ordered motion of "slow" electrons in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst for the intensification of the endothermic stages of combustion and oxidation reactions on hydrocarbon gases and solid hydrocarbons. An artificially created low-temperature nonequilibrium plasma, with its short-term action on the object of combustion or oxidation, makes it possible to conduct a chemical reaction, which under normal conditions is possible at considerable energy costs, or proceed very slowly. Minimization of energy consumption in the proposed processes is achieved by using catalysis in the discharge zone. To create a low-temperature plasma, it is proposed to use a barrier and volume discharge. This direction was called the electron-catalytic method. The use of this method in combustion and oxidation processes allows a much smaller amount of energy to be expended on the process of intensification of endothermic stages due to the use of the energy of "slow" elecrons, the formation of which is affected by the nonequilibrium plasma. When the fuel mixture burns in the presumed zone, the water content significantly decreases, and a large amount of energy is consumed to destroy it. Instead, radicals and ions are formed, the heat capacity of which is much less than the heat capacity of water and always has a negative value. Energy, which was spent for destruction, is applied to the total energy that exerts electrons and protons. The total energy contribution of all compounds formed during the compounds is sufficient to initiate both the burning process and the oxidation of various compounds. For the gas phase, an additional energy effect was achieved in the amount of 12-15% of the amount of energy released during the usual combustion of fuel
