Low-temperature plasma-chemical pyrolysis of a mixture of fuel oil and water

Abstract

Plasma chemical aquatermolysis of heavy oil feedstock allows increasing the depth of oil refining and the yield of light hydrocarbons. In the present work, the process of NTP-pyrolysis of a mixture of fuel oil with water (10 wt%) in the liquid phase at 700V was carried out. The introduction of water (10 wt%) into the fuel oil leads to changes in the conversion rate, product composition and energy consumption. Addition of 10 wt% of water to fuel oil increases the conversion rate from 18.6 to 25.9 wt% and reduces energy consumption. The main products are carbon materials, acetylene, ethylene and C3-C6 hydrocarbons.
