Gasoline production by dielectric barrier discharge

摘要

A method of transforming a normally gaseous composition containing a mixture of normally gaseous hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide into a product stream containing at least one normally liquid hydrocarbon, wherein the mixture of normally gaseous hydrocarbons contains at least saturated and/or unsaturated C4-hydrocarbons; the method comprising the steps of feeding the composition into a reactor including a first electrode means, a second electrode means and at least one layer of a normally solid dielectric material positioned between the first and the second electrode means; submitting the composition within the reactor in the presence of a normally solid catalyst to a dielectric barrier discharge, wherein the normally solid catalyst is a member selected from the group of zeolites, modified zeolites and zeolite-like materials; and controlling the dielectric barrier discharge to convert the normally gaseous composition into the product stream. <IMAGE>
