To improve the ignition and combustion performance of aviation kerosene, two-channel gliding arcs plasma was adopted to crack kerosene into active components, such as gaseous light hydrocarbons and H2. The influence of carrier gas flow rate on discharge characteristics and cracking effects were investigated. Experimental results indicate that, compared to single channel discharge, the power of two-channel gliding arcs discharge is greater while the arcs cover twice as much area as that of single channel discharge. The cracking rate of two-channel discharge plasma is greater than that of single channel discharge while it shows an upward trend with greater carrier gas flow rate. Among the main components of cracking gas, the molar percentage of hydrogen is the highest and exceeds 50%. Greater carrier gas flow rate would result in lower molar percentage of hydrogen. Interestingly, the ethyl group prefers to form C2H2 as the carrier gas flow rate increases in the two-channel gliding arcs discharge while the molar percentage of C2H2 and C2H4 changes inconspicuously in the single channel discharge.

Abstract The yield and composition of pyrolysis products depend on the characteristics of feed stock and process operating parameters. Effect of particle size, reaction temperature and carrier gas flow rate on the yield of bio-oil from fast pyrolysis of Pakistani maize stalk was investigated. Pyrolysis experiments were performed at temperature range of 360-540°C, feed particle size of 1-2 mm and carrier gas fl ow rate of 7.0-13.0 m3/h (0.61.1 m/s superficial velocity). Bio-oil yield increased with the increase of temperature followed by a decreasing trend. The maximum yield of bio-oil obtained was 42 wt% at a temperature of 490°C with the particle size of around 1.0 mm and carrier gas flow rate of 11.0 m3/h (0.9 m/s superficial velocity). High temperatures resulted in the higher ratios of char and non-condensable gas.

LiOH is known to be one of the most efficient CO2adsorbent because it reacts with CO2to form Li2CO3. However, LiOH still suffers from lack of enough hardness for practical use. In this study, various substrates, were modified with LiOH. Their X-ray diffraction patterns were investigated, and LiOH peak was observed from all prepared samples. CO2adsorption capacity of each prepared sample was measured by monitoring CO2concentration change during the adsorption process under constant CO2gas inflow condition. LiOH-modified Al2O3and zeolite 5A showed good CO2adsorption performance, while LiOH-modified AC and SiO2showed relatively poor CO2adsorption. Al2O3and zeolite 5A contains many basic functional groups of Al3+, which promote the neutralization reaction with acidic CO2. The effect of carrier gas, carrier gas flow rate, initial CO2concentration, and amount of LiOH-modified Al2O3loading was investigated. CO2 adsorption performance was better when the carrier gas was N2, because O2competes with CO2on LiOH. CO2adsorption performance was better with lower carrier gas flow rate, lower initial CO2concentration, and less loading of adsorbent due to the increase of contact time and contact points.
