Abstract

The effect of argon and helium admixtures in carbon dioxide on carbon monoxide generation was studied. The mixture was flowing through the positive corona discharge. The experiment was done using pure carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide with 5% of argon/helium and carbon dioxide with 10% of argon/helium. The corona reactor was equipped by coaxial cylindrical electrodes. The outer one was made of stainless steel and the inner one was molybdenum wire. The reactor tube itself was used as a cell in the infrared spectrometer as it had germanium windows on each side. The IR spectrometry method was used for carbon monoxide concentration measurement. It was found out that with increasing amount of argon in the mixture the concentration of carbon monoxide was increasing. Such experiment is interesting from the Martian atmosphere point of view. The Martian atmosphere contains a few volume percents of argon.
