Abstract
AbstractThis paper focuses on the conversion of 1,2‐dichloroethane (EDC) using non‐thermal plasma under reaction conditions that can decompose EDC and yield a value‐added product. A cylindrical double dielectric barrier discharge system has been used to generate non‐thermal plasma and quartz has been used as a dielectric. Our findings show that under non‐oxidative reaction conditions employed in this study, vinyl chloride, a commercially important compound, is the major gas phase product produced. This paper also encompasses a preliminary characterisation of polymer during the reaction. Possible mechanisms for gaseous product formation and polymerisation are presented. magnified image
