Valorisation chimique de methane par plasmas micro-ondes
Article Abstract:
The conversion of methane in a direct microwave plasma has been studied at 4-28 Torr pressures in a tubular flow reactor in a parallelepipedic Moreau cavity to determine products from methane conversion, especially C2 hydrocarbons. Results are compared to those from other processes. Reaction products were analyzed using gas phase chromatography. Substantial yields of C2 hydrocarbons can be obtained. Original article is in French with French and English abstracts.

The determining factors for profitability are expense loads, guarantees, lapse sensitivity, crediting rates and investment yield. The crediting-rate process and several strategies for calculating risk are presented.
