Title:
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING HYDROGEN BY REFORMING PLASTIC WASTE BY MEANS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC PLASMA TORCH
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/173263
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for mass producing hydrogen by reforming plastic waste by means of an electromagnetic plasma torch and, more specifically, to an apparatus and method for mass producing hydrogen by injecting steam or carbon dioxide to an electromagnetic plasma torch system to reform, with high efficiency, a plastic waste compound in a high-temperature reforming chamber by means of active particles which may be generated in a torch flame such as oxygen atoms, hydrogen oxide molecules, hydrogen atoms, carbon monoxide molecules and the like. Synthesis gases generated by reforming in the reforming chamber are mainly carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Carbon monoxide is converted to hydrogen by a water gas reaction, and hydrogen is refined by pressure swing adsorption (PSA). Therefore, vinyl waste and plastic waste which are most fatal to the Earth's environment are eliminated while hydrogen, which is one of the most environment-friendly energy sources, is produced.
