Experimental studies on H2 addition to a CO2 atmospheric microwave plasma torch — •Marc Bresser, Sophie Wahl, Katharina Wiegers, Andreas Schulz, Matthias Walker, and Günter Tovar — IGVP, University of Stuttgart, Germany

Man-made climate change, caused for example by an increased concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, is causing a switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. The chemical industry is searching for new renewable ways to synthesize hydrocarbons. One way is to utilize the resulting CO2 as a reactant and create a cycle process. CO2 can be activated by a microwave plasma and split into carbon monoxide (CO) and oxygen (O2). The big advantage is, that this technology enables the use of intermittent energy from wind and sun. The resulting CO can be further processed into hydrocarbons. One idea is to add other gases to the CO2 plasma in order to utilize the energy and produce higher value products. In this work, the addition of "green" hydrogen (H2) to a CO2 plasma is investigated. The CO2 gas is introduced tangentially in a reverse vortex flow of a microwave plasma torch. On top of the plasma torch a 13 mm restriction nozzle is mounted to quench the plasma and prevent the reverse reaction. The position of the H2 addition is varied. After cooling to room temperature, the product gas is analyzed using a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) absorption spectrometer. The influence of microwave power, gas flow and gas composition on the product gas is studied.

Keywords: CO2 conversion; Microwave plasma torch; hydrogen
