Low-Temperature Plasma Chemical Engineering, 1st Edition, presents a structured framework for plasma process intensification, reactor design, and reaction engineering. Authored by Yi Cheng and Xin Tu, this textbook establishes principles for analyzing chemical reactions driven by electrical discharges.
The content develops core conversion pathways, detailing the plasma-catalytic oxidation of volatile organic compounds alongside methane reforming and carbon dioxide conversion. Subsequent sections extend these methodologies to biomass tar reforming, nitrogen fixation, plasma agriculture, and cold atmospheric plasma biotechnology.
Designed for college instructors, university students, and scientific researchers across chemical and energy engineering, this volume provides structured methodologies for system optimization in low-temperature plasma environments.
