Abstract
The disclosure herein describes a method for producing ammonia by introducing N, CO and water into a non-thermal plasma in the presence of a catalyst, the catalyst being effective to promote the disassociation of N, CO and water to form reactants that in turn react to produce NHand CH. This disclosure also describes producing a reactive hydrogen ion or free radical by the method comprising passing water through a non-thermal plasma in the presence of a catalyst, the catalyst being effective to promote the dissociation of water.
