SI -Scale-up of Plasma Reactors

Submission status
Closed
We are pleased to announce a special issue of Plasma Chemistry and Plasma Processing devoted to the scale-up of laboratory plasma reactors to pilot and full scale applications.  This issue will highlight recent work and developments for plasma reactor scale-up with applications to bio, chemical, environmental, materials, and energy processes.  Contributions focusing on thermal plasma, non-thermal plasma, catalytic and non-catalytic plasma reactor design are sought.  Manuscripts dealing with issues related to all aspects of reactor scale-up including fluid flow, plasma generation, chemical reactions, and power supplies are of interest.  Studies dealing with economic analysis and overall process plant design are also desired.  Plasma Chemistry and Plasma Processing accepts article types including invited reviews, commentaries, regular research contributions, and short communications.
