Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing
combustible gas by reacting carbon dioxide with oxy-hydrogen gas
generated from water.
RELATED BACKGROUND ART
[0002] Nowadays carbon dioxide is nominated as the most influential
factor of the global warming. However, since there are no effective
methods to prevent the carbon dioxide from increasing and no
effective industrial measures and technical methods to convert the
carbon dioxide into other reusable compounds, concentration of the
carbon oxide on the earth has been more and more increasing as the
world economy has been developed. Adverse effects on the global
environment caused by the increasing carbon dioxide are far beyond
our imagination. Crises which jeopardize human lives, for example,
such as abnormal weathers caused by atmospheric warming, high tides
caused by ocean currents flow changes, adverse effects on
ecological systems, draughts and floods, submerged lands by seal
level rises, food shortages caused by law yields of agricultural
products and so forth, are too many to enumerate. Therefore it is
an urgent issue to keep the carbon dioxide from increasing by
reusing the carbon dioxide.
[0003] The inventor (OHMASA, Ryushin) already succeeded in
obtaining oxy-hydrogen combined gas, which is safe and different
from conventional oxy-hydrogen gas, by electrolyzing water under
specialized vibratory agitations (hereinafter the oxy-hydrogen
combined gas by the inventor is called as "OHMASA-GAS" in order to
distinguish from the conventional oxy-hydrogen gas). During the
electrolysis, nano-micro bubbles (fine bubbles formed by oxygen and
hydrogen) are generated by vibratory agitations, and the generated
nano-micro bubbles burst, as a result the burst bubbles converted
into the oxy-hydrogen combined gas (see patent references 1-3).
Since this combined gas contains H.sub.2O clusters (see non-patent
reference 1), it is confirmed that the combined gas does not
explode so that it is safe, while the conventional oxy-hydrogen gas
tends to explode.
[0004] The inventor confirmed a fact that when the OHMASA-GAS is
used in welding, fusing, brazing or the like, it is possible to
reduce costs by 60-70% compared with cases where acetylene or
propane gas is used (see patent references 2, 3). And it is
reported that when power is generated by a gas mixture consisting
of 50% of OHMASA-GAS and 50% of LP gas, costs are reduced to almost
half compared with 100% of LP gas, and additional investment is
required little (see non-patent reference 1).

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0009] An objective of the present invention is to produce a new
fuel gas by specially combining the OHMASA-GAS and carbon dioxide,
in view of the above-mentioned unique properties of OHMASA-GAS.
Means to Solve the Problem
[0010] The problem mentioned above is solved by one of constituent
features (1), (4)-(9).
[0011] (1) A method for producing a combustible gas by reacting
carbon dioxide and OHMASA-GAS with a predetermined mixing ratio
without using any catalyst under a pressure of 0.1 MPa-10 MPa at a
temperature of 5.degree. C.-50.degree. C.
[0012] (4) The method for producing the combustible gas according
to (1), wherein the mixing ratio is set in a range of 50%-10% of
carbon dioxide and in a range of 50%-90% of OHMASA-GAS.
[0013] (5) A system for recycling carbon dioxide generated by
combusting the combustible gas produced by the method specified in
(1) or (4) in producing the combustible gas specified in (1) or
(4).
[0014] (6) A new combustible gas obtained by mixing the combustible
gas specified in (1) or (4) with a fossil fuel consisting of
propane and methane with an optional mixing ratio.
[0015] (7) A system comprising an OHMASA-GAS production apparatus
and a mixing tank, wherein: the mixing tank receives OHMASA-GAS
from the apparatus and 10-50% of exhaust gas from gas combustion
machines outside, and therein the new fuel gas can be synthesized
by reacting carbon dioxide and OHMASA-GAS without using any
catalyst.
[0016] (8) A system for synthesizing a combustible gas without
using any catalyst by blowing carbon dioxide directly onto platinum
electrodes in electrolysis vessels of an OAMASA-GAS production
apparatus.
[0017] (9) A system for producing a new fuel gas, wherein: a
combustible gas or a mixture gas consisting of the combustible gas
and OHMASA-GAS is combusted as a fuel for generators or boilers;
and carbon dioxide in the exhaust gas generated by the combustion
is reacted with OHMASA-GAS again without using any catalyst in
order to almost prevent newly generated carbon dioxide from
exhausting into the atmosphere.
Effects Attained by the Invention
[0018] Since carbon dioxide is able to be reduced by using carbon
dioxide effectively as claimed in the present invention, it is
possible to suppress the global warming. And since OHMASA-GAS is
able to produce by utilizing inexpensive late-night power, the new
fuel gas by the present invention is able to produce at low
cost.
[0019] It is a great discovery on the global scale to discover the
fact that carbon dioxide excessively exists in the atmosphere can
be used in the new fuel.
Preferred Embodiments by the Present Invention
[0020] Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, generated by combusting
substances and the like may be used as raw materials for the new
fuel gas by the present invention. The carbon dioxide is not
specially designated, but any ordinary carbon dioxide may be
used.
[0021] However, as "oxy-hydrogen gas", the conventional
oxy-hydrogen gas (which is not reactive with carbon dioxide) may
not be used, but the inventor's oxy-hydrogen combined gas (namely
OHMASA-GAS) obtained by the methods already protected by patent
rights by the inventor (see patent references 1-3) should be used
in order to react with carbon dioxide.
[0022] Hereinafter embodiments of the new fuel gas produced by
reacting carbon dioxide with OHMASA-GAS and combustion test results
of the new fuel gas, are explained.
Embodiment 1
[0023] After a high pressure glass tube with a diameter of 100mm, a
height of 800 mm and capacity of 6.28 liter is vacuumed (gauge
pressure -0.1 MPa), OHMASA-GAS is filled in the high pressure glass
tube up to 0.3 MPa (gauge pressure), then carbon dioxide is filled
in the high pressure glass tube up to 0.8 MPa (gauge pressure). The
gas mixture in the high pressure glass tube is compressed up to 1.5
MPa (gauge pressure) by a compressor. No liquid such as waterdrops
and steam are observed in the compressed high pressure glass tube,
so that only gaseous substance exists in the high pressure glass
tube.
Embodiment 2
[0024] As a combustion test, the compressed gaseous substance
obtained in embodiment 1 is burnt by a burner, 15 minutes after the
gas mixture is compressed. In the combustion test, bluish sharp
flames are observed. If the gaseous substance is merely a gas
mixture consisting of OHMASA-GAS and carbon dioxide, colorless
flames should be observed judging from previously performed
combustion test results of OHMASA-GAS. However, in the present
embodiment, since bluish sharp flames are observed when the gaseous
substance obtained in embodiment 1 is burnt, it is obvious that
OHMASA-GAS chemically reacts with carbon dioxide, and that a new
fuel gas consisting of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen is produced as a
result of the chemical reaction. Combustion temperatures of the
gaseous substance are in a range of 300.degree. C.-500.degree. C.,
and the combustion test is performed safely and stably.
Embodiment 3
[0025] After a gas mixture consisting of carbon dioxide and
OHMASA-GAS with mixture ratio 70:30, 50:50 or 30:70 is filled in
the high pressure glass tube used in embodiment 1, the filled gas
mixture is compressed up to 1 MPa gauge pressure and 1.5 MPa gauge
pressure. No liquid such as waterdrops and steam are observed in
the compressed high pressure glass tube, so that only gaseous
substance exists in the glass tube.
[0026] Judging from the above mentioned observed facts, it is
confirmed that no liquid substances are observed and only gaseous
substance exists in the above mentioned mixture ratio range and
compressed pressure range.
Embodiment 4
[0027] Combustion tests are performed by burning the gaseous
substances obtained in embodiment 3 with the burner, 15 minutes, a
week or a month after the gaseous substance is produced in
embodiment 3. In the combustion tests, bluish sharp flames are
observed as in embodiment 2, and there are no differences in the
observed facts regardless of times elapsed after the gaseous
substances are produced.
Embodiment 5
[0028] In the same conditions as in embodiment 3, a temperature of
the high pressure glass tube containing gaseous substance is
changed at 5.degree. C., 15.degree. C. or 30.degree. C. But no
liquid such as waterdrops and steam are observed in the compressed
high pressure glass tube, so that only gaseous substance exists in
the high pressure glass tube.
Embodiment 6
[0029] 0.1-5% of fossil fuel containing propane and methane, 20-50%
of carbon dioxide and the balance of OHMASA-GAS are mixed and are
reacted with each other. Bluish flames are observed when the
combustion test is performed on the reaction product. From the
observed facts, combustion of carbon is confirmed. It is confirmed
that an optimal mixture ratio is 0.5% of fossil fuel containing
propane and methane, 35% of carbon dioxide and the balance of
OHMASA-GAS.
[0030] In the above described embodiments, the gas mixtures are
reacted in the high pressure glass tube and reaction products are
stored in the high pressure glass tube. However, even when the
reaction products are stored in stainless steel containers or in
steel containers, the containers are stable without any
changes.
Embodiment 7
[0031] In the same way as in embodiment 3, combustion tests are
performed by changing mixing ratios between carbon dioxide and
OHMASA-GAS and test results are compared. As a result, optimal
combustion is attained in the mixing ratio consisting of 10-50% of
carbon dioxide and 90-50% of OHMASA-GAS.
[0032] Generated heat quantities in two ratios are as follows.
[0033] (1) Carbon dioxide: 20% OHMASA-GAS: 80% 44.8 MJ/m.sup.3
(10,700 Kcal/m.sup.3) [0034] (2) Carbon dioxide: 40% OHMASA-GAS:
60% 43.9 MJ/m.sup.3 (10,500 Kcal/m.sup.3)
[0035] The heat quantities are measured by generally performed
methods in gas combustions.
[0036] As described in embodiments, since it is confirmed that the
new fuel gas is produced by reacting carbon oxide with OHMASA-GAS,
it becomes possible to construct a carbon dioxide reduction system
by combining an OHMASA-GAS production apparatus. The carbon dioxide
reduction system comprises the OHMASA-GAS production apparatus and
a gas mixing tank (cushion tank). The gas mixing tank receives
OHMASA-GAS from the production apparatus and 10-50% of exhaust gas
from gas combustion machines (engine, boiler and the like) outside,
and therein the new fuel gas can be synthesized by reacting carbon
dioxide with OHMASA-GAS.
[0037] Further, it is possible to synthesize the new fuel gas by
blowing carbon dioxide directly onto platinum electrodes in
electrolysis vessels of the OAMASA-GAS production apparatus without
using the gas mixing tank, such that blowing amount of carbon
dioxide is determined so as to adjust the mixing ratio consisting
of 10-50% of carbon dioxide and 90-50% of OHMASA-GAS.
[0038] And further, a combustible gas or a mixture gas consisting
of the combustible gas and OHMASA-GAS is combusted as a fuel for
generators, boilers, cars or the like, and carbon dioxide in the
exhaust gas generated by the combustion is reacted with OHMASA-GAS
again so as to produce the new fuel gas, so that it is possible to
construct a system which almost prevent newly generated carbon
dioxide from exhausting into the atmosphere.
[0039] Thus carbon dioxide is reused and reduced by these systems
mentioned above, so that inexpensive heat sources may be
obtained.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY
[0040] Since the new fuel gas of the present invention obtained by
reacting carbon dioxide with OHMASA-GAS is not dangerous to explode
or the like, the new fuel gas may be replaced with conventionally
used fossil fuels as fuels for domestic uses, cars and ships or may
be widely used by mixing the fossil fuels.
