Study on CH4 dry reforming process by high power inductively coupled plasma torch at atmospheric pressure

CO₂ dissociation and CH₄ dry reforming, by high power inductively coupled plasma (ICP) torch at atmospheric pressure, have been studied. At a frequency of 400 kHz and power of 30 kW, the ICP torch source dissociates CO₂ gas directly, causing CH₄ dry reforming. The resulting products are composed of syngas, C₂H₆, C₂H₄, and C₂H₂. The results show conversion efficiencies (CE) for both CO₂ and CH₄ of 95%. At an input power of 22 kW, a CO₂ flow rate of 30 SLM, and a CH₄ flow rate of 36 SLM, the energy conversion efficiency (ECE) is 57%. As input CH₄ flow rate increases, the selectivity of CO and H₂ decreases and that of C₂ hydrocarbons increases. In this condition, ECE increases. As a result, the high CE of CO₂ and CH₄, the large amount of products, and the high selectivity of C₂ hydrocarbons can be seen as important factors for achieving higher energy conversion efficiency in the CH₄ dry reforming process. The associated chemical reactions are simulated using CHEMKIN-PRO tool, and the results illustrate the tendency of CE to vary with variations in selected parameters, and syngas and C₂ hydrocarbons production trends achieved in the simulation agree with experimental results.     

Fe-containing nanoparticles used as effective catalysts of lignin reforming to syngas and hydrogen assisted by microwave irradiation

Active iron-containing nanosized components have been formed on the lignin surface. The metal was deposited on the lignin from an ethanol solution of Fe(acac)₃ and from a colloid solution of iron metal particles obtained beforehand by metal vapor synthesis. These active components are able to absorb microwave radiation and are suitable for microwave-assisted high-rate dehydrogenation and dry reforming of lignin without addition of a carbon adsorbent, as a supplementary radiation absorbing material, to the feedstock. The dependence of the solid lignin heating dynamics on the concentration of supported iron particles was investigated. The threshold Fe concentration equal to 0.5 wt.%, providing the highest rate of sample heating up to the reforming and plasma generation temperature was identified. The microstructure and magnetic properties of iron-containing nanoparticles supported on lignin were studied before and after the reforming. The Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles and also core-shell Fe₃O₄@γ-Fe-С nanostructures are formed during the reforming of lignin samples. The catalytic performance of iron-based nanoparticles toward the lignin conversion is manifested as increasing selectivity to hydrogen and syngas, which reaches 94% at the Fe concentration of 2 wt.%. It was found that with microwave irradiation under argon, hydrogen predominates in the gas. In the СО₂ atmosphere, dry reforming takes place to give syngas with the СО/Н₂ ratio of ~?0.9. In both cases, the degree of hydrogen recovery from lignin reaches 90–94%.

Reactivity of surface OH in CH4 reforming reactions on Ni(1 1 1): A density functional theory calculation

The reactivity of surface OH in CH₄ reforming reactions was investigated by using density functional theory calculation. The key reaction pathway from CH₄ into syngas by surface OH follows CH₄ → CH → CHOH → CHO → CO, which is similar with the pathway induced by surface O in CO₂ reforming of CH₄ (CH₄ → CH → CHO → CO). Surface OH decreases the possibility of CH dehydrogenation into surface carbon. Compared to surface O and OH, surface H can eliminate surface carbon deposition more efficiently.

LiB neutron converter for a neutrino source

The possibility of enhancing the antineutrino flux from an intense source based on a lithium converter with the use of the beta-decaying ⁸Li isotope (T _1/2 = 0.84 s) is considered. The ⁸Li nuclide is produced in the lithium converter during the (n,γ) activation of the ⁷Li isotope, and high-energy \(\tilde \nu _e \) with E _ν of up to 13 MeV are then emitted. An intense antineutrino source can be constructed on the basis of various high-intensity neutron sources enclosed within a lithium blanket. It is possible to use reactions that enhance the ⁸Li yield (e.g., ¹¹B(n,α)⁸Li) for fast neutrons. One possible design for a converter with the ⁷Li and ¹¹B isotopes is analyzed. The production of ⁸Li is determined using the MAMONT software for Monte Carlo neutron transport calculations.     

Theoretical analysis on the exergy destruction mechanisms and reduction under LTC relevant conditions

Low temperature combustion (LTC) is a potential thermodynamic pathway to maximize the thermal efficiency of internal combustion (IC) engines. However, high exergy loss is also observed within this combustion concept. The present study focuses on the homogeneous combustion process and examines the detailed exergy destruction mechanisms under representative LTC engine conditions. By varying both equivalence ratios (φ) and temperatures (T) at initial pressure of 50?bar, it is found that the decreased total exergy destruction fraction (f_ED) with increasing initial temperature mainly results from the decreased exergy destruction in the high temperature heat release stage, while using rich mixture can significantly reduce the f_ED in the ignition delay stage, which is dominated by the reactions involving large molecules (C7 species). Reaction pathway analysis reveals that the detailed exergy destruction sources are significantly affected by the reaction pathways. Furthermore, a qualitative exergy loss φ-T map was created to illustrate the exergy loss reduction potential. It is concluded that the combustion pathway that reforming the rich fuel/air mixtures before ignition followed by the low temperature combustion of lean reforming products offers the potential to simultaneously reduce exergy destruction and avoid soot and NOx formation. However, the potential advantages of this exergy reduction combustion concept still require further work.     

Dual-band and high-efficiency polarization converter based on metasurfaces at microwave frequencies

We present a dual-band and high-efficiency polarization converter in microwave regime. The proposed converter can convert a linearly polarized wave to its cross-polarized wave for two distinct bands: Ku (11.5–20.0 GHz) and Ka (28.8–34.0 GHz). It can also convert the linearly polarized wave to a circularly polarized wave at four other frequencies. The experimental results are in good agreement with simulation results for both frequency bands. The polarization conversion ratio is above 0.94 for the Ku-band and 0.90 for the Ka-band. Furthermore, the converter can achieve dual-band and high-efficiency polarization conversion over angles of incidence up to 45°. The converter is also polarization-selective in that only the x- and y-polarized waves can be converted. The physical mechanism of the dual-band polarization conversion effect is interpreted via decomposed electric field components that couple with different plasmon resonance modes of the structure.

Based upon demonstrating the discharge mechanism and plasma characteristic of spark discharge, electrode configuration and plasma reactor of spark discharge were discussed especially. A novel kHz AC spark discharge reactor with rotating electrode, developed in our group, was applied in methane pyrolysis to produce acetylene and reforming of methane with CO₂ to produce syngas.

Multi-species laser absorption sensors for in situ monitoring of syngas composition

Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy sensors for detection of CO, CO₂, CH₄ and H₂O at elevated pressures in mixtures of synthesis gas (syngas: products of coal and/or biomass gasification) were developed and tested. Wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS) with 1f-normalized 2f detection was employed. Fiber-coupled DFB diode lasers operating at 2325, 2017, 2290 and 1352 nm were used for simultaneously measuring CO, CO₂, CH₄ and H₂O, respectively. Criteria for the selection of transitions were developed, and transitions were selected to optimize the signal and minimize interference from other species. For quantitative WMS measurements, the collision-broadening coefficients of the selected transitions were determined for collisions with possible syngas components, namely CO, CO₂, CH₄, H₂O, N₂ and H₂. Sample measurements were performed for each species in gas cells at a temperature of 25 °C up to pressures of 20 atm. To validate the sensor performance, the composition of synthetic syngas was determined by the absorption sensor and compared with the known values. A method of estimating the lower heating value and Wobbe index of the syngas mixture from these measurements was also demonstrated.

On the reaction mechanism of CO2 reforming of methane over a bed of coal char

CO₂ reforming of methane was studied over a bed of coal char in a fixed bed reactor at temperatures between 1073 and 1223 K and atmospheric pressure with a feed composition of CH₄/CO₂/N₂ in the ratio of 1:1:8. Experimental results showed that the char was an effective catalyst for the production of syngas with a maximum H₂/CO ratio of one. It was also found that high H₂/CO ratios were favoured by low pressures and moderate to high temperatures. These results are supported by thermodynamic calculations. A mechanism of seven overall reactions was studied and three catalytic reactions of CH₄ decomposition, char gasification and the Boudouard reaction was identified as being of major importance. The first reaction produces carbon and H₂, the second consumes carbon, and the third (the Boudouard reaction) converts CO₂ to CO while consuming carbon. Equilibrium calculations and experimental results showed that any water present reacts to form H₂ and carbon oxides in the range of temperatures and pressures studied. Carbon deposition over the char bed is the major cause of deactivation. The rate of carbon formation depends on the kinetic balance between the surface reaction of the adsorbed hydrocarbons with oxygen containing species and the further dissociation of the hydrocarbon.     

Orientation dependences of the response of an electromagnetic spectrometer with oriented crystal converter

The experimental results of the study of orientation dependences of the response of a composite Cherenkov shower spectrometer with a converter made of a 1-mm tungsten crystal oriented along the 〈111〉 axis at an electron energy of 28 GeV and two converter temperatures, 293 and 77 K, are presented. The parameters of the cascade curve of the shower development are varied depending on the orientation angle and crystal temperature. It is found that there is a point S in the cascade curve of the shower development in the spectrometer, at which all cascade curves intersect at any converter orientation. The position of this point in the spectrometer depth depends on the converter temperature.     

Peculiarities of the capacitance-voltage characteristic of a photoelectric solar energy convertor based on a silicon p-n junction with a porous silicon antireflection coating

Experimental results on the high-frequency capacitance-voltage characteristic of a photoelectric solar energy converter based on the n ⁺-p junction with a thin porous silicon film on the frontal surface are considered. It is shown that the capacitance-voltage characteristic is determined by the surface metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structure formed as a result of growing of a porous silicon layer by electrochemical anode etching. The effective thickness of the insulator layer of the MIS structure, the impurity concentration in its semiconductor region, and the density of surface states are determined.     

Single crystalline YAG:Ce phosphor for powerful solid-state sources of white light. The influence of production conditions on luminescence properties and lighting characteristics

It is shown that the spectral properties and spatial distribution of LED radiation with a YAG:Ce single crystalline luminescent converter significantly depend on the morphology of the converter surface. The variation of surface roughness enables one to obtain a light source with a wide range of color characteristics. As a result of optimization of converter parameters we demonstrate a possibility of creating a white light LED with correlated color temperature Т_CC ~ 5000–6500 K and color rendering index CRI ≈ 60–70.
