abstract = "Hydrogen produced by the thermal decomposition of natural gas in a low-temperature plasma
reactor is the subject of this study. The main advantage of plasma pyrolysis of natural gas is that a high
yield of hydrogen can be obtained without the emission of carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide since the
main products of the process are carbon in the solid state and hydrogen. The use of plasma allows the
decomposition of natural gas without the use of catalysts, which is one of the main problems of current
technologies for hydrogen production from this feedstock. In this paper, an analysis of the process is
presented using a thermodynamic equilibrium model based on the minimum of the Gibbs function in
the temperature range of 500-2500 K. Undesirable components in the system such as carbon dioxide,
hydrogen cyanide and nitrogen compounds such as ammonia and nitric oxide are evaluated. The
analysis showed the useful energy of the system per kilogram of feedstock and the efficiency of the
high-temperature plasma decomposition process in terms of hydrogen produced. The results of the
numerical analysis showed an optimal temperature for the process evaluation of about 1200 K, at which
an efficiency of about 50 % is achieved.",
