ABSTRACT
The in-liquid plasma method
is a technology in which plasma of several thousand degrees Kelvin is generated
within bubbles in a liquid. The purpose of this study is to enhance the hydrogen
production rate from waste oils by using in-liquid plasma. Two types of microwave
in-liquid plasma apparatus are adopted for hydrogen production. One is a conventional
MW (microwave) oven, the other is a microwave generator with a waveguide to apply
the in-liquid plasma steam reforming method in n-dodecane. The produced gas
is 58%-90% hydrogen in these methods.
The hydrogen production rate is improved by stabilization of the bubble growth.
The gas production rate by plasma feeding steam in n-dodecane is 1.4 times
higher than that without feeding steam.
KEYWORDS
