At the “Annual Meeting on Reaction Engineering 2025”, Ms. Katharina Wiegers, who is currently working on her doctoral thesis at the IGVP, was awarded the prize for the best poster. Her contribution is entitled “Oxygen Separation in the Effluent of a CO2 Plasma” and deals with a plasma-based process for converting CO2 into CO. A decisive factor is the removal of O2, which we want to achieve by using oxygen-conducting membranes. The behavior of such membranes in a plasma was extensively investigated by Ms. Wiegers, and parameters for optimal oxygen extraction were defined. We are delighted about the award and congratulate Katharina Wiegers!
