고온플라즈마를 이용한 수소 생산 연구

Abstract

The objective of this study is to development a DC Arc Plasma reformer. DC Arc Plasma reformer is generated by air and arc discharge. High temperature Plasma can generate very high temperatures using electricity. And it used to burn a waste material or remove hazardous gas. Also, to produce the hydrogen fuel and syngas from hydrocarbon. High temperature plasma torch (so called plasmatron) was design for hydrogen production reformer. Plasmatron is a compact fuel reformer for fuel about several type. Experiments were carried out to have the optimal operating conditions by reforming propane. Partial oxidation which oxidizes as rich mixture was achieved. Parametric studies were achieved about the effects of oxygen, vapor ,carbon dioxide and Ni-catalyst with propane and then with biogas.
