Abstract:

The plasmochemical and/or electrocatalytical reactions
of carbon monoxide were studied. Dc corona discharge
in both polarities at room temperature and temperatures
enhanced up to 70C was applied at pressure close to
atmospheric.
The reaction producs were analysed by IR absorption
spectrometry. The main products in the gas phase were
CO2 and CH4. The reactions are influenced by the formation
of a catalytically active surface layer on electrodes.
The composition of this layer depends on the polarity
of electrode.
