SYSNO ASEP 0540085 Document Type O - Others R&D Document Type Others Title Gasification and pyrolysis of waste in a steam thermal plasma Author(s) Mašláni, Alan (UFP-V) RID Number of authors 1 Year of issue 2020 Language eng - English Country CZ - Czech Republic Keywords gasification ; pyrolysis ; waste Subject RIV BL - Plasma and Gas Discharge Physics OECD category Fluids and plasma physics (including surface physics) Institutional support UFP-V - RVO:61389021 Annotation Overview of the application of thermal plasma for the treatment of various waste substances will be given. The attention will be paid to the application of the thermal plasma torches with water stabilization of the arc, producing a high-enthalpy steam plasma. The research performed in the Institute of Plasma Physics in Prague covers the development of this novel plasma torch and its application for the waste treatment, gasification and pyrolysis. For this application, special reactor was built and large number of experiments with various materials has been performed. Recent experimental results will be described, including gasification and (partial) pyrolysis of lignite, polypropylene and refuse derived fuel (RDF), and reforming and pyrolysis of methane and natural gas. In the near future, the experiments with simulated hospital waste, sewage sludge and waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) plastics containing halogenated flame retardants (FRs) are planned.
