Reforming study of electric cable shredder from car residues into high-purity synthetic gas : Paper # (08-A-32-AWMA-IT3)

Car industry and also another producer consume spend huge amount of electric cables. After end of life equipment this is a source of nonferrous metals and electric cable shredders. This paper presents experiment study on high quality synthetic gas produce from plastic cables isolation shredders take advance of high temperature gasification. Experimental results of laboratory scale batch type gasification reactor are presented. Small amount of samples was inserted to process agent like mixture of oxygen (1% vol.) with nitrogen and just in to pure steam. Tests were repeated in different temperatures up to 1323K. Base on this experiments mass balance, composition and heating value of gas was calculate. Moreover tars composition was investigate. All the cases with gasification agents and different temperatures were repeated with different duration time and mass loss ratio were draw. High temperature of the process gives strong impact on hydrogen production and tar decomposition. Pure steam gasification significantly improves gas heating value and reduce tar amount in gas.
