Application of Microwave Plasma Torch to Power Plant
نویسندگان
چکیده
This presentation is a pure steam-plasma torch generated by microwave energy and uses it for coal gasification in a lightweight operating system. The high temperature of the steam torch when used for fast gasification reactions of low-grade coal ensures a compact reaction system for an electrical power plant.

متن کاملEfficient, Modular Microwave Plasma Torch for Thermal Treatment
A high-efficiency and high-power atmospheric pressure plasma torch has been operated in air and nitrogen by modularly combining two 2.54 GHz microwave plasma sources. Each modular plasma device uses a shorted waveguide within which the plasma is sustained. They are arranged in series so the second torch adds all its power to the output of the first torch to produce one high power flame. Total m...
متن کاملElectronic Excitation Temperature Profiles in an Air Microwave Torch
A 0.9 to 1.5 kW, 2.45 GHz atmospheric pressure air microwave plasma torch has been operated efficiently with less than 1 % reflected power. The plasma is sustained in a 28 mm internal diameter fused quartz tube which penetrates perpendicularly through the wide walls of a tapered and shorted WR-284 (72 x 17 mm cross-section) waveguide. A study has been made of the effects of power and airflow on...
متن کاملSpatial Characteristics and Application of Atmospheric Pressure Microwave Nitrogen Plasma Torch
Abstract. Microwave (MW) torches are typically used to produce equilibrium plasmas for various environmental or industrial applications. We use Litmas Red MW torch (2.45 GHz, 3 kW), which is able to generate plasma in a state close to Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium (LTE) in temperature range of 1000-5000 K at atmospheric pressure. We present spatial characteristics of the generated MW plasma a...
متن کاملMicrowave plasma conversion of volatile organic compounds.
A microwave-induced, steam/Ar/O2, plasma "torch" was operated at atmospheric pressure to determine the feasibility of destroying volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of concern. The plasma process can be coupled with adsorbent technology by providing steam as the fluid carrier for desorbing the VOCs from an adsorbent. Hence, N2 can be excluded by using a relatively inexpensive carrier gas, and the...
