- an apparatus and method for producing hydrogen by reforming waste plastics with an electromagnetic plasma torch include a waste plastic preprocessor 10, a reforming chamber 20, an electromagnetic torch system 30, It consists of an oxygen supply unit 40 , a heat exchanger 50 , a water gas reaction 60 and a PSA 70 .
- the waste plastic preprocessor 10 pulverizes various incoming waste plastics or vinyl into small particles (pellets) and supplies them to the reforming chamber 20, or heats the waste plastic particles to 250 degrees Celsius to form a liquid reforming chamber ( 20) is supplied.
- the reforming chamber 20 maintains a high temperature environment so that the waste plastic material supplied from the waste plastic preprocessor 10 is maintained at a high temperature while the waste plastic material is reformed by water vapor or carbon dioxide introduced from the electromagnetic torch system 30 .
- the inner wall of the reforming chamber 20 is made of a material that can withstand a high temperature for a long time (one month or more).
- the inner surface is coated with a heat-resistant ceramic material called HACT180 that can withstand up to 1800 degrees Celsius, and the next layer is a thermal insulation ceramic called INCT120.
- Graphite which has a melting point of 3550 degrees Celsius, is also suitable as a heat resistor.
- the electromagnetic torch system 30 generates a plasma torch flame using water vapor or carbon dioxide, and converts the torch flame in which a large amount of active particles such as oxygen atoms, hydrogen atoms, hydrogen oxide (OH) molecules, and carbon monoxide molecules are generated in the flame to the reforming chamber ( 20) is supplied.

- the temperature generally approaches 1,000 degrees Celsius.
- the syngas temperature must be cooled through the heat exchanger 50 .
- most of the waste plastic is polyethylene, a small amount of hydrogen chloride generated by the decomposition of polyvinyl chloride contained in some may be included in the syngas. So, hydrogen chloride is removed in the process through the heat exchanger 50 .
- high-temperature steam is generated, and this steam is used when generating a steam torch in the electromagnetic wave torch system 30 .
- Syngas sufficiently cooled in the heat exchanger 50 is converted into carbon monoxide and hydrogen while passing through the water gas reaction (60) process.
- the water gas reaction 60 also uses a portion of water vapor. Water gas reaction is carried out at 200 degrees Celsius or less.
- the synthesis gas after the water gas reaction (60) is a mixed gas of hydrogen and carbon dioxide. This synthesis gas is finally separated from carbon dioxide and hydrogen through a purification process called PSA (70). Part of the carbon dioxide generated here is used to generate a carbon dioxide plasma torch in the electromagnetic torch system 30 .
- PSA Pressure Swing Adsorption
- referred to here refers to the gas purification process.
- polyethylene is modified with steam plasma.
- Polyethylene the main component of plastics, is a complex in which numerous ethylene molecules are bound. So, for convenience of analysis, we will assume that it is a compound with N ethylene molecules attached. So, the chemical formula of this hypothetical molecule is (C 2 H 4 ) N. The enthalpy of this molecule is assumed to be -E kJ/mole. When reforming this compound with a steam torch, the comprehensive chemical reaction is
- N means an integer number, not a nitrogen atom.
- the enthalpies of water vapor and carbon monoxide were calculated to be -241.8 kJ/mole and -110.5 kJ/mole, respectively. Since carbon monoxide is converted into hydrogen by water gas reaction (60) CO + H 2 O ⁇ CO 2 + H 2 , 6N moles of hydrogen are generated by reforming 1 mole of the hypothetical compound.
- the reforming chamber 20 of this size has an internal capacity of about 1.8 cubic meters, and the energy lost in the reforming process is about 140 kW. Most of the energy loss is the energy that syngas carries, and some of it is lost through conduction and the like. So, the energy required for the reforming process is (302.8+0.62E/N)kW.
- the total energy input is independent of the number N and the enthalpy of the hypothetical compound -EkJ/mole. That is, it depends only on the energy of the carbon and hydrogen atoms.
- the hydrogen energy produced is 300 rubles when calculated as the enthalpy of water generated by the H 2 + (1/2)O 2 ⁇ H 2 O reaction -285.8kJ/mole (High Value: this value is generally adopted as the gasifier efficiency)
- polyethylene is modified with carbon dioxide plasma.
- the comprehensive chemical reaction is
- DH (345N+E) kJ/mole, which is an endothermic reaction.
- the enthalpy of carbon dioxide was calculated to be -393.5 kJ/mole.
- 6N moles of hydrogen are generated per mole of the hypothetical compound.
- the amount of hydrogen generated per mole of the polyvinyl chloride virtual compound is 5N moles.
- the hypothetical number of moles of polyvinyl chloride required to produce 300 cubic meters of hydrogen per hour is 2678.6 moles, which corresponds to 0.74/N mole/s. So the required reforming energy is (126.7+E/N)kW.
- the energy loss through reforming also increases by 20% to 168kW.
- the energy to be input to the reforming chamber 20 is (294.7+E/N)kW.
- the enthalpy of hypochlorous acid (HClO) was calculated to be -76.8 kJ/mole.
- the energy input to polyvinyl chloride is (818-E/N)kW. Therefore, the energy input to the reforming chamber 20 including the reforming material is 1113 kW. If 60kW of energy required outside the reforming chamber 20 is added to this, the total is 1173kW.
- the polyvinyl chloride required to produce 300 cubic meters of hydrogen per hour is 167 kg.
- Example 1 would be realistic because most of the waste plastic is polyethylene and some polyvinyl chloride is introduced. However, even if a little polyvinyl chloride is mixed in the waste plastic, the generated hydrogen chloride must be removed from the heat exchanger (50).
- PSA Pressure Swing Adsorption
- N the number of ethylene molecules in the ethylene molecular complex

Abstract
La présente invention concerne un appareil et un procédé de production en masse d'hydrogène par reformage de déchets plastiques au moyen d'un chalumeau à plasma électromagnétique et, plus spécifiquement, concerne un appareil et un procédé de production en masse d'hydrogène par injection de vapeur ou de dioxyde de carbone dans un système de chalumeau à plasma électromagnétique pour reformer, avec une efficacité élevée, un composé de déchets plastiques dans une chambre de reformage à haute température au moyen de particules actives qui peuvent être générées dans une flamme de chalumeau telles que des atomes d'oxygène, des molécules d'oxyde d'hydrogène, des atomes d'hydrogène, des molécules de monoxyde de carbone et analogues. Les gaz de synthèse générés par le reformage dans la chambre de reformage sont principalement le monoxyde de carbone et l'hydrogène. Le monoxyde de carbone est converti en hydrogène par une réaction du gaz à l'eau, et l'hydrogène est raffiné par adsorption modulée en pression (PSA). Par conséquent, les déchets de vinyle et les déchets plastiques qui sont les plus fatals pour l'environnement de la Terre sont éliminés tandis que l'hydrogène, qui est l'une des sources d'énergie les plus écologiques, est produit.
