Abstract
It has been shown that propane conversion into acetylene, by propane cracking in an argon plasma, is increased when the reaction site is irradiated with UV light in the range 220–400 nm. The reactions were carried out between 4500 and 6400 K. A model is outlined following which the propane conversion increase at 6400 K (40%) is tied up to energy absorption by acetylene in the lower wavelengths range (220–250 nm). Also, a combined adsorption-photochemical process, related to precursors and submicron carbon particles, could be responsible for the yield increase observed at 5400 K (45%), around 365.0 nm.
