Popis: Objectives:Methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are the main components of biogas and are produced from biomass gasification. These two gases are a by-product gases that can be used as an energy source and is known as a greenhouse gas that affects global warming. In order to convert the gas which is the main cause of global warming into high-quality fuel energy, the microwave reforming characteristic research was conducted. In this study, the reforming characteristics of microwave carbon receptor pyrolysis-gasification gas were investigated. In addition, reforming gas conversion characteristics according to the reforming temperature, flow rate, and CH4 / CO2 ratio, which are the main influence variables, were studied. Methods:Experiment was achieved in a microwave convertor which was installed a quartz tube reactor. The reactor was irritated by a microwave energy to heat carbon receptor in a sample basket which was placed at the center of the quartz tube. A simulated gas mixture of methane and carbon dioxide was fed into the carbon receptor in the reactor, and a reformed product gas was collected and analyzed using a GC-TCD. Results and Discussion:In the case of microwave reforming of a mixture gas of carbon dioxide and methane, hydrogen and carbon was produced by thermal decomposition of methane. The produced carbon was adsorbed to the receptor and interfered with the catalytic activity. The attached carbon was reacted with the carbon dioxide by gasification reaction to produce carbon monoxide, and was cleaned to maintain a constant reforming conversion. Conclusions:As a result, the conversion rate and the product gas yield were high when the receptor bad reforming temperature was high and the space velocity in the convertor was low. The increase in methane in the simulated gas resulted in low conversion due to carbon adsorption.
