Plasma‐based conversions with in situ product removal
Kevin H. R. Rouwenhorst, Leon Lefferts
Abstract
Abstract This short review focuses on in situ product removal as a method to improve the energy efficiency and product yield of plasma‐based conversions. After recapping the advantages of in situ separations in thermal‐catalytic processes, different strategies for in situ product removal for plasma‐based conversions are discussed. Advantages and challenges are discussed regarding four strategies, that is, absorption and adsorption using solids, use of sacrificial reactants, separation with ceramic dense membranes, and product removal in the liquid phase.
