Plasma catalysis : fundamentals and applications Preface 1. Plasma catalysis: Introduction and History 2. Plasma catalysis systems 3. Plasma catalyst interactions 4. Plasma catalysis modeling 5. Plasma catalytic removal of NOX 6: Plasma catalytic removal of VOCs Plasma catalytic decomposition of NH3 8 Plasma catalytic conversion of methane 9 Plasma catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide 10 Plasma catalytic conversion of alcohol 11 Plasma catalysis challenges and future perspectives This book provides a comprehensive overview of the field of plasma catalysis regarded as a promising alternative to thermal processes for energy and environmental applications. It bridges the gap between the plasma and catalysis research communities covering both the fundamentals of plasma catalysis and its application in environmental and energy research. The first section of the book offers a broad introduction to plasma catalysis covering plasma catalyst systems interactions and modeling. The core of the book then focuses on different applications describing a wide range of plasma catalytic processes in catalyst synthesis environmental clean up greenhouse gas conversion and synthesis of materials for energy applications. Chapters cover topics ranging from removal of NOx and VOCs to conversion of methane carbon dioxide and the reforming of ethanol and methanol. Written by a group of world leading researchers active in the field the book forms a valuable resource for scientists engineers and students with different research backgrounds including plasma physics plasma chemistry catalysis energy environmental engineering electrical engineering and material engineering
