Abstract: [eng] [cze]
The gasification of biomass in thermal plasma is discussed and the processes are analyzed. Heat needed for production of syngas was determined from heats of wood combustion and thermodynamic analysis of all processes in the reactor. The kinetics of the process of gasification in plasma flow is analyzed. Experiments with biomass treatment in plasma reactor with hybrid gas/water-stabilized arc are described. Effects of plasma power, material feed rate and flow rate of reaction gases were studied. Syngas with high content of hydrogen and carbon monoxide was produced. No presence of complex hydrocarbons or tar was detected. Je studován proces zplynování biomasy v termickém plazmatu. Energetická bilance zplynování dřeva je analyzována na základě termodynamické analýzy procesů v reaktoru. Kinetika procesu je popsána pomocí řešení rovnic přenosu tepla a Arheniovy rovnice. Experimenty s pyrolýzou biomasy byly provedeny v reaktoru s hybridním plazmatronem s obloukem stabilizovaným plynem a vodou. Byl produkován syngas s vysokým obsahem vodíku a CO.
