Abstract :
The paper presents a technique of direct decomposition of CO2 gas by ultra-high voltage pulse stream discharge at normal pressure. With the technique, an “exploded” huge energy is produced in a nanosecond to make CO2 molecules in an activated state and transform to activated molecules. Under the action of a directed chemical reaction, CO2 gas is decomposed into a gas molecule O2 and solid particle C, having above 90% decomposing rate. At the same time, the principle of decomposing CO2 and the functional relations of the effect of several experimental parameters on CO2 decomposing rate are depicted
