Abstract.

The increase in the volume of resource and energy consumption by the global industry leads to a negative and irreversible environmental impact of the products of direct combustion of carbon-containing media of various origins due to the release of carcinogenic and toxic substances into the atmosphere. One of the ways to solve this problem is the use of alternative renewable energy sources, such as the sun, wind, water, hydrogen, derived from the separation of water, etc. Their production and use does not affect the environment, and the separation of water is accompanied by the release of oxygen into the atmosphere. However, these technologies are in development and today can not meet the needs of developing economies. A promising direction in the field of clean technologies is the preliminary preparation of carbon-containing environments media of various origins by means of their thermal transformation into a gas state in high-temperature fields.

The paper analyzes the existing autothermal and allothermal gasification technologies for carbon-containing media. The advantages of allothermal technologies of high-temperature transformations in electromagnetic fields of arc plasma from a steam oxidizing medium are presented. However, due to the increased energy intensity of the process, the advancement of plasma technologies with thermal conversions of carbon-containing environments remains difficult. The ways of increasing the caloric content of the produced gas by exposing the arc discharge and gas formations to strong magnetic fields with the formation of stable energy associations of molecules or individual atoms, the binding energies of which can significantly exceed the corresponding parameters of ordinary molecules, and their energy output can be 5 times higher than the value energy transformations.

The key is that a temperature of several thousand degrees and a powerful magnetic field in the combustion zone of an electric discharge transform the electronic orbits of the compounds of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen, of which the plasma mainly consists. As the plasma is washed away by a stream into the surrounding liquid layers, the elements included in its composition quickly cool down and combine into clusters with the conservation of internal energy.

Based on the results of theoretical and experimental studies, a method for plasma gasification of carbon-containing media and a plasma-arc reactor for its implementation has been developed.
