Non-thermal plasma removal of naphthalene as tar model compound from biomass gasification

Gasification of biomass is an industrial process utilized to produce product gas that can be used in electrical power generation with internal combustion engines. However, there remain huge challenges with regards to tar and other pollutants, thus their removal before further use is necessary. Non-t...
