Popis: The conversion of benzene in a medium of Ar, H2, and propane-butane mixture in a dielectric-barrier discharge reactor, accompanied by polymerization yielding liquid and solid compounds, has been investigated. The amount of polymerization products reaches 79.7 wt %. Addition of H2 to benzene reduces the amount of benzene-soluble polymer-like compounds in the products to ∼61 wt % and precludes the formation of solid polymerization products. The transformation of benzene with a propane-butane mixture yields alkylbenzenes (up to 38.5 wt %) and liquid alkanes (to 20.5 wt %, mainly with a branched structure). It has been found that an increase in benzene flow rate from 0.08 to 0.4 cm3/min in the case of benzene conversion with the propane-butane mixture can significantly reduce the amount of polymerization products from 56.7 to 9.1 wt %.
