Characteristics of a plasma reactor for partial oxidation of methane, especially focused on the role and effectiveness of plasma chemistry, is investigated. Partial oxidation of methane is investigated using a rotating arc which is a three dimensional version of a typical glidingarc. The rotating arc has both the characteristics of equilibrium and non-equilibrium plasma. Non-equilibrium characteristics of the rotating gliding arc can be increased by rotating an elongated arc string attached at both the tip of inner electrode and the edge of outer electrode. In this way, plasma chemistry can be enhanced and hydrogen selectivity can reach almost 100% that is much higher than thermal equilibrium condition. As a result, the present study enables the strategic approach of the plasma reforming process by means of appropriate reactor design to maximize plasma effect and resulting in maximized reaction efficiency.

암모니아 처리용 플라즈마 스크러버 공정 최적화 연구를 수행하였다. 여러 반도체공정 중 확산과 이온주입공정에서는 불가피하게 부산물로서 암모니아가 배출되며, 따라서 효율적인 건식처리공정기술이 필요하다. 플라즈마 처리공정은 연소공정에서 배출되는 NOx가 발생하지 않으며, 촉매공정에서 나타나는 비활성문제가 없다. 그러나 전기에너지를 사용하기 때문에 실제 적용을 위한 최적화 연구가 필요하며, 본 연구에서는 공정 최적화를 위한 해결책으로 회전아크 반응기의 모드제어에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 기존 회전아크 반응기에 대한 스케일 업 및 그에 대한 모드 매핑을 수행하였다. 설계 반응기를 이용하여 암모니아 분해특성을 평가하였고, 최적화 설계가 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 열교환기를 포함한 전체 스케일의 스크러버 실험에서 암모니아 분해공정이 보다 안정적이고, 효율적인 것으로 나타났다.

CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons) and HCFCs (Hydrochlorofluorocarbons) that are chemically stable were proven to be a greenhouse gases that can destroy ozone layer. On the other hand, HFCs (Hydrofluorocarbons) was developed as an alternative refrigerant for them, but HFCs still have a relatively higher radiative forcing, resulting in a large Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 1,300. Current regulations prohibit production and use of these chemicals. In addition, obligatory removal of existing material is in progress. Methods for the decomposition of these material can be listed as thermal cracking, catalytic decomposition and plasma process. This study reports the development of low cost and high efficiency plasma scrubber. Stability of steam plasma generation and effect of plasma parameters such as frequency of power supply and reactor geometry have been investigated in the course of the development. Method for effective removal of by-product also has been investigated. In this study, elongated rotating arc was proven to be efficient in decomposition of HFCs above 99% and to be able to generate stable steam plasma with steam contents of about 20%.
