An apparatus for synergistically combining a plasma with a comminution means such as a fluid kinetic energy mill (jet mill), preferably in a single reactor and/or in a single process step is provided by the present invention. Within the apparatus of the invention potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and subsequently into angular momentum by means of wave energy, for comminuting, reacting and separation of feed materials. Methods of use of the apparatus in the practice of various processes are also provided by the present invention.read more

Externally heated microwave plasma gasifier and synthesis gas production method
TL;DR: In this paper, an externally heated microwave plasma gasifier and a synthesis gas production method are presented, where the external heat source is used to supply heat, and the amount of biomass chemical energy converted into thermal energy is reduced, so much so that no additional oxidizer is added for oxidation reaction.
Patent
Straw gas heat source engine
TL;DR: In this paper, a straw gas heat source engine with a gas producer and a gas separator is presented. But the main problem of low heating efficiency of circulating water and energy dissipation of the traditional straw gas producer is not addressed.

Conductively heating a subterranean oil shale to create permeability and subsequently produce oil
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe an underground interval of oil shale that is conductively heated from borehole interiors which are kept hotter than about 600° C and are heated at a rate such that kerogen pyrolysis products formed within the oil shale create and flow through horizontal fractures which subsequently extend into fluid-producing wells that are positioned in specified locations.
Patent
In-situ tuned microwave oil extraction process
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of microwave flooding, plasma torch activation, molecular cracking and selective heating are used to heat the oil within the reservoir, by controlling frequency, intensity, duration, direction and wave form of the electromagnetic field.
