Acetic acid formation from methane and carbon dioxide non-thermal plasma reactions towards an effective carbon fixation

While direct CH 3 COOH formation from CH 4 and CO 2 in a non-equilibrium condition is an ideal process, a dielectric-barrier discharge plasma reaction in the presence of CO 2 and isotopic CH 4 ( 13 CH 4 ) revealed that the primly produced CH 3 COOH can comprise both CH 4 -derived carbons ( i.e. , no CO 2 -derived carbon), indicating the importance of a particular CO 2 activation control in non-thermal plasma for an effective carbon fixation. A non-thermal plasma reaction with CO 2 and isotopic CH 4 revealed that the primly produced CH 3 COOH could comprise both CH 4 -derived carbons, indicating the importance of a particular CO 2 activation control for an effective carbon fixation.
