Hydrogen peroxide production in an atmospheric pressure RF glow discharge: comparison of models and experiments C.A. Vasko Ding-Xin Liu E.M. van Veldhuizen Felipe Iza Peter Bruggeman 2134/15668 https://repository.lboro.ac.uk/articles/journal_contribution/Hydrogen_peroxide_production_in_an_atmospheric_pressure_RF_glow_discharge_comparison_of_models_and_experiments/9567800 The production of (Formula presented.) in an atmospheric pressure RF glow discharge in helium-water vapor mixtures has been investigated as a function of plasma dissipated power, water concentration, gas flow (residence time) and power modulation of the plasma. (Formula presented.) concentrations up to 8 ppm in the gas phase and a maximum energy efficiency of 0.12 g/kWh are found. The experimental results are compared with a previously reported global chemical kinetics model and a one dimensional (1D) fluid model to investigate the chemical processes involved in (Formula presented.) production. An analytical balance of the main production and destruction mechanisms of (Formula presented.) is made which is refined by a comparison of the experimental data with a previously published global kinetic model and a 1D fluid model. In addition, the experiments are used to validate and refine the computational models. Accuracies of both model and experiment are discussed. 2014-08-22 10:54:10 Atmospheric pressure plasma Hydrogen peroxide Chemical kinetics modelling Water vapor chemistry RF glow discharge Mechanical Engineering not elsewhere classified
