Abstract

The carbon dioxide dissociation has been investigated both theoretically and experimentally in nonequilibrium plasma of the glow and high-frequency gas discharges. Vibrational and gas temperature values have been measured for molecules in plasma and the dissociation degree for the isotopes ¹²C¹⁶O₂ and ¹³C¹⁶O₂ after the exit of the gas from the reactor core has been also measured. CARS and absorbtion spectrometry (with help of frequency tuned diode lasers) methods were used for the investigation.
