Investigation of The Plasma Reaction Behavior of a Coke Oven Gas with Trace Oxygen in a Coaxial DBD Reactor

The presented study shows experimental results with literature comparison for understanding of the oxygen removal in coke oven gas (COG) with plasma. The reaction of oxygen with the main COG components H2, CH4, and CO are investigated as well as the occurrence of potential side reactions as the splitting of CO2 and CH4. Further potential side reactions in the COG mixture known from literature as hydrogenation reactions are discussed in contrast to the observations of the experiments.
