  • Abstract
    Argon TIAGO torch plasma in air ambience has been studied to produce the decomposition of ethanol obtaining hydrogen at the plasma exit. Dependence of by-products formed on ethanol flows has been studied. Ethanol molecules were completely decomposed, and an important conversion to hydrogen was obtained. Images of plasma generated in these conditions are presented.
