AB  - Thermal plasma gasification has been demonstrated as one of the most effective 
      and environmentally friendly methods for solid waste treatment and energy 
      utilization in many of studies. Therefore, the thermal plasma process of solid 
      waste gasification (paper mill waste, 1.2 ton/day) was applied for the recovery 
      of high purity H(2) (>99.99%). Gases emitted from a gasification furnace equipped 
      with a nontransferred thermal plasma torch were purified using a bag-filter and 
      wet scrubber. Thereafter, the gases, which contained syngas (CO+H(2)), were 
      introduced into a H(2) recovery system, consisting largely of a water gas shift 
      (WGS) unit for the conversion of CO to H(2) and a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) 
      unit for the separation and purification of H(2). It was successfully 
      demonstrated that the thermal plasma process of solid waste gasification, 
      combined with the WGS and PSA, produced high purity H(2) (20 N m(3)/h (400 
      H(2)-Nm(3)/PMW-ton), up to 99.99%) using a plasma torch with 1.6 MWh/PMW-ton of 
      electricity. The results presented here suggest that the thermal plasma process 
      of solid waste gasification for the production of high purity H(2) may provide a 
      new approach as a future energy infrastructure based on H(2).
