Provider:	Czech Science Foundation
Period:	Jan 01, 2008 - Dec 31, 2010
Principal Investigator:	Doc. RNDr. Milan Hrabovský, CSc.

Aims of the project: Study of pyrolysis of materials in plasma produced in the world-unique torch with water/gas stabilization. Enthalpy and flow rate of plasma are two orders higher then the ones used in published experiments. These parameters result in a high-energy efficiency of the process, composition of plasma is optimal for generation of synthesis gas. The goal is experimental verification of the high efficiency and description of heat and mass transfer in the process of interaction of high enthalpy plasma flowwith material for the case when gas flow rate produced by gasification is more then one order higher the plasma flow rate. Model of gas flow and integral model of the reactor describing relation between reaction results and physical conditions in the reactor will be formulated. Model will be applied for description of generation of synthesis gas from biomass and polymerized hydrocarbons and it will be compared with the results of experiments with various kinds of materials. The results can be
