Method for low-tonnage hydrogen production using a plasma-chemical reactor
https://doi.org/10.15518/isjaee.2025.03.103-112
Abstract
Various types of plasma methods for producing hydrogen are considered. A hydrogen production unit based on quasi-stationary pulsed nonequilibrium plasma is described. The value of the percentage of hydrogen in the mixture obtained using a chromatograph is presented. The power introduced into the discharge circuit and the amount of energy spent on the formation of one hydrogen molecule are calculated. The energy for the formation of one hydrogen molecule is 5,1 eV. It was shown that hydrogen in the plasma-chemical reactor was mainly formed as a secondary product of the hydrocarbon synthesis reaction, since the amount of soot obtained at the outlet corresponds to 5% of the total amount of hydrogen obtained during the experiment. Thus, the efficiency of the unit from the point of view of low-tonnage hydrogen production, as well as the prospects for studying the possibility of synthesizing various hydrocarbons based on this plasma-chemical reactor, are proven.
