Hexane was converted with carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide and hydrogen in an argon-carbon dioxide plasma jet reactor with the stabilized dc arc discharge. The reaction mixture was quenched in a diaphragm heat exchanger. The power of the arc discharge was 9.5 - 17 kW. The increase of the specific energy in the range 11.5 - 17 MJ/ kg resulted in an increase in high hexane conversion (45 to 63%) and selectivity of the hydrogen formation (18 to 35 mol %). The average contents of CO and H2 in the reaction mixture were 26 and 15 vol.%, respectively. The energy consumption during the processes of generation synthesis gas and hydrogen were 23.5 and 58 MJ/m3, respectively.
