Abstract:
A method and device for processing a gas by forming microwave plasmas of the gas. The gas that is to be processed is set in a two or three co-axial vortex flow inside the device and exposed to a microwave field to form the plasma in the inner co-axial vortex flow, which subsequently is expelled as a plasma afterglow through an outlet of the device.

Abstract:
An apparatus, a system and a method for producing hydrogen from gaseous hydrocarbon comprises a gas pre-treatment module (2) fluidly connected to a gas reservoir (66) and to at least one hydrogen generator (100); and a hydrogen post- processing module (3) fluidly connected via a feeding conduit (81) to the generator and to a storage and distribution module (5). The hydrogen generator comprises plasma nozzles (105); a reaction chamber (102) coupled to each of the plasma nozzles; each plasma nozzle comprising a microwave plasma generator (301, 302) and a feed tube (303) for directing a flow of the gaseous hydrocarbon via the plasma generator to respective inlets to the reaction chamber, whereby the plasma generator at least partly ionises gaseous hydrocarbon to form a plasma prior to entry of the at least partly ionised hydrocarbon into the reaction chamber, and the reaction chamber comprises at least one outlet (101) via which hydrogen is conveyed to the post-processing module (3).
Abstract:
The plasma reactor (100) has a plurality of microwave plasma nozzles (105) and a common reaction chamber (102). A fluid including a material to be ionised is supplied to the plasma nozzles (105) and each plasma nozzle (105) is connected to an inlet to the reaction chamber (102) so that plasma generated within the nozzle is fed through the inlet and is collected within the reaction chamber (102). The plasma reactor is capable of being scaled up through the simultaneous use of multiple individual plasma nozzles and is thus suitable for use in the processing of a wide variety of feed materials and at commercial scales.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and device for processing a gas by forming microwave plasmas of the gas. The gas that is to be processed is set in a two or three co-axial vortex flow inside the device and exposed to a microwave field to form the plasma in the inner co-axial vortex flow, which subsequently is expelled as a plasma afterglow through an outlet of the device. The device is provided with a microwave field choking effect by having a diameter of the exit channel larger than zero but smaller than 1/16 of the wavelength of the standing microwave within the microwave chamber and a length, ∈, of the exit channel that may correspondingly have one of the following ranges: from a factor larger than zero but smaller than (n+1/8), n G {0, 1, 2, 3}, of the wavelength of the standing microwave within the microwave chamber.
