Abstract
The process of carbon dioxide reforming of hydrocarbon feedstock (like natural gas, coal, petroleum coke, residual oil, glycerine, etc) for hydrogen production has attracted great attention from both environmental and industrial perspectives. The plasma chemical reactor for study the CO2 reforming of hydrocarbon gaseous feedstock is presented. The reactor consists of a DC plasma torch coupled to a compact quenching chamber. The linear plasma torch operates with a reverse vortex flow and hollow blind-end cathode for enhancing the thermal efficiency and enthalpy of the plasma jet. The quenching chamber consists of a set of refrigerated discs equipped with flow turbulent flow generator. Estimated quenching rates are up to 107-108 K/s. Electrical and thermal characteristics of the plasma-chemical reactor torch as well as the energy efficiency of the process are presented.
