(2004). Reforming of ethanol in a microwave surface-wave plasma discharge. Applied Physics Letters, 85 (18), 4004-.0003-69511077-3118https://hdl.handle.net/11441/83525Hydrogen production through plasma reforming of ethanol at room temperature and moderate pressure has been carried out in a microwave surface-wave reactor. Both pure ethanol and mixtures ethanol-water have been studied. The reforming yield was almost 100% in all conditions with H2, solid carbon, CO and CO2 as the main reaction products. In the mixture ethanol-water the formation of solid C was avoided. The optical emission spectroscopy analysis has shown that the formation of the excited species CO*, CH* and C depends on the plasma mixture. The temperature of the OH* species was determined by analyzing the shape profile of its emission band.application/pdfengAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://doi.org/10.1063/1.1808875
