<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To separate hydrogen and deposit carbon simultaneously without producing carbon dioxide from a town gas by using electric discharge technique. <P>SOLUTION: The town gas is supplied to be passed through a pipe cathode made of a high melting point metal and electric discharge is carried out between the cathode and a perforated anode. The town gas is separated into carbon (deposit) and hydrogen (exhaust gas) by the ionization caused by the high temperature of the cathode and electron current by heavy current discharge. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO |
