Dissociation of CO2 into C and O2
Abstract
Maciej Pawlikowski
The objective of this research was to test the possibility of dissociating CO2 into C and O2 using electric discharges. An apparatus was designed and constructed for this specific purpose, and then CO2 was subjected to high-energy electrical discharges. After dissociation was completed, the gas "bombarded" with electric sparks was analyzed in a gas chromatograph. The obtained results indicate that about 17% oxygen, 72% nitrogen, and 0.9% Argon was obtained from dissociated CO2 . About 8.5% of CO2 did not dissociate. The experiments and measurements of the obtained products, repeated several times, also revealed trace amounts of methane in the products of dissociation.
