Application of atmospheric pressure microwave plasma source for hydrogen production from ethanol

Abstract

In contrast to conventional technologies of hydrogen production like water electrolysis or coal gasification we propose a method based on the atmospheric pressure microwave plasma. In this paper we present results of the experimental investigations of the hydrogen production from ethanol in the atmospheric pressure plasma generated in waveguidesupplied cylindrical type nozzleless microwave (915 MHz and 2.45 GHz) plasma source (MPS). Argon, nitrogen and carbon dioxide were used as a working gas. All experimental tests were performed with the working gas flow rate Q ranged from 1500 to 3900 NL/h and absorbed microwave power PA up to 6 kW. Ethanol was introduced into the plasma as vapours carried with the working gas. The process resulted in the ethanol conversion rate greater than 99%. The hydrogen production rate was up to 210 NL[H2]/h and the energy efficiency was 77 NL[H2] per kWh of absorbed microwave energy.
