| Research Abstract |
By heating solid biomass such as wood and waste, liquid fuel and chemical materials, alternative of the fossil fuel, can be obtained because it generates liquid tar via pyrolysis reaction. However, it is difficult to control the composition of liquid tar by giving only heat so far. In this study, gas is dissociated electrolytically to the electrons which has high energy and ions (called non-equilibrium plasma) by adding the energy. The objective of the study is to confirm whether non-equilibrium plasma can change the product yield and composition or not.
Cellulose, one of major components of wood, was used as a biomass material. The change in gas and liquid tar composition was researched by applying argon or hydrogen plasma. The promotion of cellulose pyrolysis in lower temperature region was suggested with argon plasma.
