Drastically Increase in Atomic Nitrogen Production Depending on the Dielectric Constant of Beads Filled in the Discharge Space.

ABSTRACT: Nitrogen activation, especially dissociation (production of atomic nitrogen), is a key step for efficient nitrogen fixation, such as nitrogen reduction to produce ammonia. Nitrogen reduction reactions using water as a direct hydrogen source have been studied by many researchers as a green ammonia process. We studied the reaction mechanism and found that the nitrogen reduction could be significantly improved via efficient production of atomic nitrogen through electric discharge. In the present study, we focused on packed-bed dielectric barrier discharge (PbDBD) using dielectric beads as the packing material. The experimental results showed that more atomic nitrogen was produced in the nitrogen activation by the discharge in which the discharge space was filled with the dielectric beads than
