Abstract
In this Chapter upper limits to the dissociation mechanisms induced by vibrational excitation are compared with the corresponding rates from direct electron impact. Plasma-processing of CO2 under non-equilibrium conditions is considered due to the large interest nowadays existing for this molecule in energy and aerospace applications.
