Abstract

This work reports on the study of the products obtained by the plasma treatment of methane mixtures or benzene mixtures in a coaxial cylindrical dielectric barrier discharge reactor at atmospheric pressure. The plasma products have been analyzed by spectroscopic and mass spectrometric techniques (GC-MS, FT-IR, NMR, MALDI-TOF MS). Moreover, in this work we report the plasma phase characterization in a parallel plate DBD reactor by using OES and LIF tecniques.
