The results of experimental investigations of the conversion of ethanol
in a high-voltage atmospheric-pressure discharge have been presented.
The influence of the energy parameters of the discharge on the yield
and energy cost of conversion products has been investigated. It has
been established that the minimum energy cost of hydrogen is possible
in regimes of discharge burning with a maximum degree of nonequilibrium
of the plasma.
