Production of hydrogen-containing gas using the process of steam-plasma gasification of used tires

Abstract

The paper is devoted to treatment of used tires. The method of used tire gasification using steam plasma has been suggested. Studies of the composition of syngas depending on the process temperature and the steam-plasma flow rate have been performed. The method for increasing the hydrogen content in synthetic gas using the steam catalytic conversion of carbon monoxide contained in syngas in the presence of an absorber has been suggested. The results of the process mathematical simulation at different consumptions of steam and absorber are presented.
