Hydrogen Production by Thermal Plasma Pyrolysis of Hydrocarbon Gases

This article presents the results of thermodynamic and experimental studies of mixed hydrocarbon gas pyrolysis at atmospheric pressure in a plasma reactor to produce hydrogen and containing nanocarbon structures carbon black. The technology of plasma pyrolysis consists of heating hydrocarbon gas in a plasma reactor to the temperature of its dissociation, resulting in the formation of hydrogen and highly dispersed carbon black in a single technological process.
