Abstract
The intense shock waves were applied to the CO_2 decomposition. High temperature and high pressure exhaust gas, produced by the propane-oxygen detonation, was used to generate intense shock waves in a low pressure chamber of 100mm inner diameter. The experimental apparatus was composed of pre-combustion chamber, imploding chamber, and shock tube which consists of a high pressure chamber of 2020mm in length and a low pressure chamber 4250mm in length. The experimental results show that the volume ratio CO/CO_2 increases as the temperature increases. The volume ratio CO/CO_2 was about 0.27 at 3800K using intense shock waves. The volume ratio CO/CO_2 was about 0.64 at 3500K using iron particles of rough grain.
