A high-speed, non-catalytic conversion of organic gases with the oxy-hydrogen flame (ongoing research)
Please, see [7-10] for details and experimental results
It is generally accepted that free radicals in hot plasma gas (for instance, air at ~5000C)
activate partial oxidation of organic gases into syngas (CO, H2)
High-temperature hydrogen/oxygen flame could be considered a plasma gas. The amount of electricity consumed by water electrolysis is in the same range
as to generate a thermal plasma gas
A non-catalytic reactor with the oxy-hydrogen burner. Oxygen is taken to allow: (i) stoichiometric burning of H2; (ii) partial oxidation of organic gases without their
complete combustion
An experimental reactor with the oxy-hydrogen burner for partial oxidation
of organic gases
