“…In [4] wood was gasified in steam plasma. The mean enthalpy of plasma, given by ratio of net arc power to gas flow rate, was usually not higher then 10 MJ/kg [1,[2][3][4]. The high flow rates of plasma ensure good mixing of plasma with treated material.…”

The experimental reactor PLASGAS for plasma pyrolysis and vitrification equipped with the hybrid gas-water stabilized torch was used in the experiments. The plasma torch is characterized by low density, high temperature plasma with very low mass flow rates and high enthalpy. High plasma enthalpy is advantageous for adjustment of higher reaction temperatures with high energy efficiency. Gasification of biomass was experimentally studied using wood as a model substance. The experimental results proved that homogeneous heating of the volume of plasma reactor and proper mixing of plasma with treated material were ensured despite of low plasma mass flow rate and constricted form of plasma jet. The conditions within the reactor ensured complete destruction of tested substance. Syngas with high content of hydrogen and CO was obtained. No presence of complex hydrocarbons or tar was detected, which is very important for possible practical application of the technology.PACS : 52.25.Jm

“…Waste treatment using plasmas has gained special attention in the last decade, which is reported in numerous studies and review papers (see, e.g., [63,91,[95][96][97][98][99]). The use of plasmas for waste incineration is attractive when a valuable co-product like syngas, hydrogen, or electricity can be generated.…”

Heat and mass transfer as well as chemical reactions in technical processes can be enhanced by using electric fields. This paper provides an overview of current fundamental and applied research as well as potential technical applications of electric fields in energy and process engineering. This includes electrosprays, technical combustors as well as electrochemical reforming and plasma gasification of waste or biomass. Other emerging fields are plasma technologies for treatment of water, surfaces and gases including flue gases. In particle or aerosol-laden flows, plasmas are used to promote particle nucleation and surface growth for controlled nanomaterial synthesis. Furthermore, non-invasive diagnostics based on electromagnetic fields and electric fluid properties are relevant techniques for online control and optimization of technical processes. Finally, an overview of laser-based techniques is provided for studying electro-hydrodynamic effects, temperature, and species concentrations in plasma and electric-field enhanced processes.

“…The usage of mixtures of inert gas with hydrogen [Zhao 2001, Zhao 2003] eliminates this disadvantage but it increases the cost. In [Kezelis 2004] biomass was gasified in steam plasma, the usage of produced syngas as plasma gas in a special plasma torch is planned in [Brothier 2007]. This chapter presents the experimental results obtained in medium scale thermal plasma gasification reactor equipped by the gas-water dc plasma torch with arc power up to 160 kW.…”
