Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the optimal condition of the SynGas production by reforming of propane using plasmatron. Plasma was generated by air and arc discharge. The effects of applied steam, $CO_2$ or Ni-catalyst on propane conversion, yield of hydrogen and $H_2/CO$ ratio as well as correlation of syngas were studied. When the variations of $O_2/C_3H_8$ flow ratio, $H_2O/C_3H_8$ flow ratio and $CO_2/C_3H_8$ flow ratio were $0.94{\sim}1.48,\;4.3{\sim}10\;and\;0.8{\sim}3.05$ respectively, Under the condition mentioned above, result of $H_2O/C_3H_8$ flow ratio was maximum $H_2$ concentration, or $28.2{\sim}31.6%$, and result of $H_2O/C_3H_8$ flow ratio with catalyst was minimum CO concentration or $6.6{\sim}7.1%$ and the ratio of hydrogen to carbon monoxide($H_2/CO$) were $3.89{\sim}4.86$.
