The purpose of development of recycling technology is to reduce the environmental load to
minimum and to restrain the consumption of insufficient natural resources like petroleum by
circulating the use of natural resources. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the technology
through the economical and practical approach. The gasification technology, which uses steam plasma
torch, satisfies with the above conditions.
By using a steam plasma gasification system, ABS resin, and made compound, has been completely
decomposed and converted into low-molecular-weight gases, dominantly carbon monoxide(CO) and
hydrogen gas(H2). Product gases on so-called synthetic gas for use as a fuel obtained containing 54%
of H2 and 30% of CO under C/O ratio of 1.1 and a gasification temperature 1400℃ in the first
chamber, respectively. The operation of a steam plasma torch and gasification system is stable and
reliable within the necessary range of parameters.
