摘要

摘要: 采用切向气流和磁场协同驱动的旋转滑动弧氩等离子体, 先通过光谱分析法计算了其电子温度和电子密度, 了解其物理特性, 将其应用于甲烷裂解制氢, 研究了进气流量和CH₄/Ar比对反应效果的影响。结果表明, 该滑动弧系统电子温度为1.0-2.0 eV, 电子密度高达10¹⁵ cm^-3, 是介于热与低温等离子体之间的一种等离子体形式, 具有独特的物理特性, 可以在达到较高反应效率的同时, 保持较大的处理量; 在CH₄裂解制氢实验中, CH₄转化率可达22.1%-70.2%, 并随进气流量和CH₄/Ar比的增大均逐渐降低; H₂选择性为21.2%-61.2%, 并随进气流量的增大先基本不变后有所增大, 随CH₄/Ar比的增大逐渐降低; 与应用于甲烷裂解的不同形式的低温等离子体对比 (如微波、射频、介质阻挡放电等) 可以发现, 旋转滑动弧在获得较高甲烷转化率、较高H₂选择性和较低制氢能耗的同时, 还可以保持较大的处理量, 即进气流量可达6-20 L/min。

Abstract: A kind of rotating gliding arc (RGA) argon plasma co-driven by tangential flow and magnetic field was investigated and used for hydrogen production from methane decomposition.In order to obtain insights into the physical characteristics of the RGA plasma, optical emission spectroscopy (OES) analysis was used to determine the electron temperature and electron density.In addition, the effects of feed flow rate and CH₄/Ar ratio on the performance of the methane decomposition process in this RGA plasma were also investigated.Results have shown that, the RGA plasma is a kind of unique plasma between thermal and non-thermal plasma, with electron temperature of 1.0-2.0 eV and electron density of 10¹⁵ cm^-3.In this system, the CH₄ conversion could be 22.1%-70.2% and it increased with the increase of flow rate or CH₄/Ar ratio.The H₂ selectivity varied from 21.2% to 61.2%, and with the augment of flow rate, the H₂ selectivity first varied slightly and then increased.A comparison of different non-thermal plasmas (e.g., microwave, radio frequency, and dielectric barrier discharge) showed that the RGA plasma could provide a relatively high CH₄ conversion and H₂ selectivity, as well as a relatively low energy consumption for H₂ production, while maintaining a high flow rate (i.e., processing capacity) of 6-20 L/min.
