Abstract
The purpose of this study is to establish the basic technology to achieve CO_2 reduction and hydrogen production by using exhaust gas, waste steam, and sawdust. We used sawdust with mean particle diameter of 10,100 and 600μm, and applied shock heating technique by the shock wave driven by high pressure helium. The experimental apparatus is a standard shock tube having inner diameter of 100 mm. We found that hydrogen concentration increases gradually with increase of the rate of small sawdust and increase of temperature. The highest hydrogen concentration was about 60%. The shock heating temperature for acquiring the value of high hydrogen concentration was about 1360K.
