Hydrogen Production System using a Plasma Reactor
Abstract
The present article deals with a potential to interconnect the plasma technology of waste processing with the technology of hydrogen separation from syngas using metal hydride alloys. It also describes key components of the system used for syngas cleaning and their succession.

Introduction
Conventional procedures of hydrogen recovery are not environment-friendly or require a significant amount of energy. One of the environment-friendly methods of hydrogen recovery is hydrogen separation from syngas produced either as a result of biological processes in microorganisms or as a by-product of technological processing of waste, in particular the gasification technology or waste disposal using plasma reactors. At present, a system of hydrogen recovery from such syngas represents a challenge which is only manageable by a few methods which are costly, technologically demanding or time-consuming.
Conclusion
The measurement system described in the article will soon be subjected to the construction and testing phase while the emphasis will be put mostly on testing the resistance of metal hydride alloys to acids produced during the thermal decomposition of communal waste. Furthermore, alloys will be tested for their resistance to CO and CH4 and the effects of alloys on a potential decomposition of these substances.
