Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, pyrolysis and oxidation of fine carbon particles by using laser induced breakdown followed by plasma state were investigated experimentally. First, in an attempt to have basic knowledge about the effects of pulse laser irradiation to carbon, we conducted preliminary experiments of pulse laser irradiation on solid-state carbon specimens. As a result, it was confirmed that carbon removed from the surface of the solid-carbon spevcimen by ablation is partially oxidized to carbon dioxide. Next, we targeted dispersed two-phase pipe flow in which the size of the solid-carbon particles is nanoscale. The number density of the carbon nanoparticles was confirmed to derease in the downstream region of the laser irradiation area. Although the removal efficiency of fine carbon particles is not so high at this moment, we believe that the experimental results obtained here suggest the possibility of utilization of laser for vaporization and oxidation of fine carbon particles.
