Process of converting gaseous hydrocarbons to a liquid hydrocarbon composition

摘要

A non-thermal, repetitively-pulsed gliding discharge reactor includes a high-voltage power source configured to provide a pulsed high-voltage potential; a gas inlet; a liquid sorbent inlet; a product outlet; a plurality of first electrodes connected to the high-voltage power source; a plurality of second electrodes that are grounded; and a trough; the plurality of first electrodes being separated from the plurality of second electrodes by a discharge region.

1. A process of converting gaseous hydrocarbons to a liquid hydrocarbon composition, the process comprising:
introducing a gaseous hydrocarbon into a reactor comprising:
a plurality of first electrodes, each individually connected to a pulsed, high-voltage power source;a plurality of second electrodes that are grounded; anda trough;the plurality of first electrodes being separated from the plurality of second electrodes by a discharge region; introducing to the trough a liquid sorbent comprising gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, a liquid alkane, or a mixture of any two or more such materials; generating a non-thermal, repetitively pulsed gliding discharge in the discharge region; and producing the liquid hydrocarbon composition.
