Chengyuan Duan, Manabu Tanaka, Takayuki Watanabe, Treatment of Pyridine in Industrial Liquid Waste by Atmospheric DC Arc Plasma, Journal of Hazardous Materials, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.128381, 430, 15, 128381, 2022.05, ピリジンは毒性が強い塩基性複素環化合物で、工業プロセスから排出される廃液中に広く見出されている。新規ミスト型水熱プラズマトーチを用いて、高濃度ピリジンの処理方法を開発した。分解率およびTOC除去率はすべての条件で94%以上、最大エネルギー効率は約23g/kWhに達した。5,500〜7,500Kの高温では、ピリジン中の95%以上の炭素が有価ガス生成物に変換され、液体副生物としてギ酸および酢酸が少量観測された。また、ピリジンの熱分解時にHCNの生成が観察されたが、これは投入電力を増加させることで抑制することができる。これらの実験結果に基づき、高温領域と下流領域における詳細な分解機構をそれぞれ考察した。水プラズマは、生分解性のない産業廃液の処理に大きな可能性を示している。.
2. Xiaoyu Zhang, Yiran Wang, Byeongil Min, Eri Kumai, Manabu Tanaka, Takayuki Watanabe, A controllable and Byproduct-free Synthesis of Carbon-Coated Silicon Nanoparticles by Induction Thermal Plasma for Lithium Ion Battery, Advanced Powder Technology, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apt.2021.06.003, 32, 8, 2828-2838, 2021.08, Carbon coated silicon nanoparticle is regarded as a promising anode material for the next generation of lithium ion batteries, while the development of a cost-effective and environmental-friendly preparation method is still difficult and hinders the practical implementation. In this research, a controllable and byproduct-free synthesis method is proposed for the preparation of silicon nanoparticles with amorphous hydrogenated carbon coating. The current apparatus is operated based on the application of induction thermal plasma. Plasma properties are tunable by adjusting the ratio of tangential and radial gas flow rates (T/R), which compose the plasma sheath gas. Obtained results reveal the plasma shape is shrunk with higher T/R values, which will lead to a steeper temperature gradient and lower temperature distributions in reaction chamber. Consequently, the compositions and properties of synthesized particles can be modified with T/R values. The formation of SiC, which was an intractable issue before, can be vanished at higher tangential gas flow rates in current research and the capacity of silicon anode for batteries will be improved in predict. This research is significant for a deep understanding of plasma synthesis processing and design of batteries with excellent performance..
3. Xiaoyu Zhang, Byeongil Min, Yiran Wang, Ririko Hayashida, Manabu Tanaka, Takayuki Watanabe, Preparation of Carbon-Coated Silicon Nanoparticles with Different Hydrocarbon Gases by Induction Thermal Plasma for Lithium Ion Battery, The Journal of Physical Chemistry C, https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpcc.1c03209, 25, 28, 15551-15559, 2021.07, シリコンは非常に高い充電容量を持つため、グラファイトに代わるリチウムイオン電池の負極材として有望視されている。しかし、充電時の体積膨張が大きく、安定性に大きな問題がある。この問題を解決し、シリコン負極の実用化を促進するために、保護膜でコーティングされたシリコンナノ粒子は信頼性が高い。本研究では、高周波熱プラズマを応用して、アモルファス水素化炭素コーティングを施したシリコンナノ粒子を合成し、追加の炭素源の影響を調べた。副生成物の生成を制限するために、炭化水素の新規かつ簡便な注入方法を導入した。カーボンコーティングの厚さは、炭化水素ガス流量が多いほど2〜8 nmの範囲となり、シリコン粒子の平均直径は約70 nmと一定であった。sp2比やH含有量などのカーボンコーティングの特性は調整可能であり、カーボンソースの熱分解メカニズムが重要な要因であると考えられている。また、豊富な炭素と水素ラジカルを放出したグラフェンフレークも得ることができる。材料の特性評価から、アセチレンは炭素コーティングを調製するためのより良い候補物質とみなされている。以上の結果は、次世代リチウムイオン電池の設計に重要な意味を持つと考えられる。.

Junya Matsuno, Akira Tsuchiyama, Takayuki Watanabe, Manabu Tanaka, Aki Takigawa, Satomi Enju, Chiyou Koike, Hiroki Chihara, and Akira Miyake, Condensation of Glass with Multimetal Nanoparticles: Implications to a Formation Process of GEMS Grains, The Astrophysical Journal, 10.3847/1538-4357/abe5a0, 911, 1, 47, 2021.04, Interplanetary dust particles contain glass with embedded metals and sulfides (GEMS) grains (i.e., amorphous silicate grains with diameters of a few hundred nanometer containing Fe nanoinclusions and Fe sulfide particles), which are considered to be among the building blocks of the solar system.
For exploring that GEMS grains formed during the condensation process, condensation experiments were carried out in Si–Mg–Fe–Al–Ca–Ni–O and Mg–Si–Fe–Ca–Al–Na–O systems using an induction thermal plasma furnace. In all experimental runs, spherical grains (mostly composed of amorphous silicate) and with diameter <100 nm were condensed. The analysis of the amorphous silicates, which were classified as Mg rich or Si rich, indicated that the condensates formed via melting. Fe led to the formation of fine magnetite grains in most of the oxidative experiments, to 10-nm metal grains (i.e., kamacite and taenite) under intermediate redox conditions, and to 30- to 100-nm Fe silicide grains (i.e., gupeiite, xifengite, and fersilicite) in most of the reductive experiments. Under intermediate redox conditions, some amorphous silicate particles showed multiple Fe inclusions with textures very similar to those of GEMS grains except for FeS, indicating that GEMS could form by condensation of high-temperature gases.
Considering the nucleation and growth of solids from high-temperature gas during cooling, we infer that GEMS grains formed either in the local environment of our protoplanetary disk (and be related to chondrule formations) or around evolved stars related to II-P SNe and AGB type stars..

Xiaoyu Zhang, Zishen Liu, Manabu Tanaka, and Takayuki Watanabe, Formation Mechanism of Amorphous Silicon Nanoparticles with Additional Counter-Flow Quenching Gas by Induction Thermal Plasma, Chemical Engineering Science, 10.1016/j.ces.2020.116217, 230, 116217, 2020.12, The fabrication process of amorphous silicon nanoparticles by induction thermal plasma was studied by experiments and numerical simulation. Additional quenching gas was introduced as counter-flow to plasma flame tail for an effective synthesis of amorphous phase, and the flow rate was determined to range from 0 to 70 L/min to understand the effect on the prepared products. Amorphous silicon nanoparticles were confirmed by electronic diffraction analysis with random shapes and serious agglomerate, while the crystal particles have a totally different morphology which are spherical and freestanding. The ratio of amorphous silicon increased with quenching gas flow rate, and the reliability was verified by comparison between XRD and Raman results. The quenching rate increased from 3.2x104 to 8.9x105 K/s with quenching gas flow rate and was insufficient for the formation of amorphous silicon. The enhanced fabrication of small nanoparticles (˂ 5 nm) with quenching gas injection was demonstrated as the reason of increased amorphous silicon ratio, which suggested the formation of amorphous silicon by thermal plasma is controllable..

7. Naoki Sakura, Masaki Yoshida, Manabu Tanaka, Takayuki Watanabe, Investigation of erosion mechanism of tungsten-based cathode in Ar-N2 DC arc, Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 10.1088/1361-6463/ab3139, 52, 40, 404002, 2019.07, Direct current arc has been used in a wide industrial field. Reducing in cathode erosion is an important issue for process cost reduction, however the erosion mechanism under molecular gas as plasma supporting gas has not been clarified yet. The purpose of this research is to elucidate the erosion mechanism of tungsten based cathodes in atmospheric pressure Ar-N2 DC arc. The metal vapor generated from the cathode surface was successfully visualized by a high speed camera system with a pair of band pass filters. Combing the visualization with the cahtode temperature measurements provides the tungsten vapor evaporation mechanism; tungsten vapor was generated not from the high temperature part of the cathode tip but from the peripheral part. The arc temperature measurement confirmed that ionization of tungsten atoms in the high-temperature region of the arc caused to this characteristic distribution of tungsten vapor. These findings advance the understanding of such electrode phenomena leading to increased use time of the electrode, and as a result the industrial use of N2 arcs is expected to expand..
8. Feng Liang, Manabu Tanaka, Sooseok Choi, Takayuki Watanabe, Formation of Different Arc-Anode Attachment Modes and their Effect on Temperature Fluctuation for Carbon Nanomaterial Production in DC Arc Discharge, Carbon, 10.1016/j.carbon.2017.02.084, 117, 100-111, 2017.06, A direct current (DC) has been applied to prepare many carbon nanomaterials, including fullerene, graphene, and carbon nanohorns (CNHs) from inner wall of chamber. However, the growth mechanism of these carbon nanomaterials is not clear. Amorphous spherical carbon nanoparticles (SCNs), the typical ‘dahlia-like’ CNHs, and graphene with the layer numbers of 2e5 were synthesized controllably from the inner wall of the chamber by DC arc discharge method using argon, nitrogen, and hydrogen as buffer gas.
Simultaneously, the effect of buffer gas pressure on the morphology of carbon nanomaterials was investigated systematically. Furthermore, the formation mechanism of these carbon nanomaterials by DC arc discharge was also investigated. Given that argon atom was difficult to bond with the carbon cluster, the random bond between carbon clusters contributed to combine into amorphous SCNs; the CeN bond was the key factor in the formation of CNHs, and hydrogen contributes to form graphene sheets by terminating carbon dangling bonds. With increasing the pressure of buffer gas, intense quenching resulted in formation of carbon nanomaterials with high purity. The study on the growth mechanism of carbon nanomaterials in the inner wall of chamber promotes the preparation of carbon nanomaterials controllable by arc discharge method..
9. Feng Liang, Manabu Tanaka, Sooseok Choi, Takayuki Watanabe, Investigation of the relationship between arc-anode attachment mode and anode temperature for nickel nanoparticle production by a DC arc discharge, Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 10.1088/0022-3727/49/12/125201, 49, 12, 2016.02, Multiple and constricted arc-anode attachment modes were observed in helium arc discharge to prepare nickel nanoparticles. The electron overheating instability resulted in the formation of multiple attachment modes. The effects of hydrogen concentration and shield gas flow rate on the characteristics of nickel nanoparticles were investigated. The evaporation rate of anode material contributed to forming different arc-anode attachments. The surface temperature of the electrode was measured during the arc discharge by two-color pyrometry combined with a high-speed camera which employs appropriate band-pass filters. The relationship between the arc-anode attachment mode and the temperature behavior of the anode surface was investigated by using two synchronized high-speed cameras. The waveform of anode jet area variation with time follows that of the highest temperature variation of anode surface with time. The fluctuation of the highest anode temperature increased when the arc anode attachment changed from multiple into constricted mode. The highest temperature fluctuation and stability of the arc contributed to nanoparticle size distribution. Nickel nanoparticles with large productivity and narrow size distribution were obtained when shield gas was employed by controlling the residence time of nanoparticle growth. The formation mechanism of different arc-anode attachment modes was explained..
10. Takayuki Watanabe, Yaping Liu, Tanaka Manabu, Investigation of Electrode Phenomena In An Innovative Thermal Plasma for Glass Melting, Plasma Chemistry and Plasma Processing, 10.1007/s11090-014-9530-8, 34, 3, 443-456, 2014.04, A multi-phase alternating current (AC) arc has been applied to glass melting technology. The large volume discharge produced by a stable multi-phase AC arc is preferable to melt the granulated glass materials. The discharge behavior and the hightemperature region of the plasma can be controlled by the electrode configurations. In this study, the spatial characteristics of the arc discharge were examined by image analysis of high-speed camera. Results show arc existence area is related with electrode configuration.
This study provides the useful information of efficient particle treatment in the preferred electrode configuration. However, the electrode erosion is one of the most considerable issues to be solved. The combination of high-speed video camera and band-pass filters was introduced to measure the electrode temperature to investigate the erosion mechanism of the multi-phase AC arc. The dynamic behavior of the electrode vapors in the arc was investigated by using the same high-speed camera system. Results show the tungsten electrode mainly evaporates at the anodic period during AC cycle..
11. Yaochun Yao, Takayuki Watanabe, In-Flight Melting Bahavior of Grannulated Alkali-Free Raw Material in Induction Thermal Plasmas, Plasma Chemistry and Plasma Processing, 10.1007/s11090-013-9490-4, 33, 6, 1111-1119, 2013.12, A new in-flight glass melting technology with induction thermal plasmas was developed to reduce the energy consumption and the emissions of greenhouse gases for glass production. The effects of carrier gas on the in-flight melting behavior of granulated alkali-free raw material were investigated by various modern analyses. Results show that the particles have smooth spherical surface and compact structure after heat treatment. As the carrier gas flow rate increases, the vitrification degree decreases and the average diameter increases. Higher vitrification results in more shrinkage of particle. The carbonates in raw material decompose completely during in-flight melting. The highest volatilization of B2O3 is attributed to more heat transferred from plasmas to particles at the lowest carrier gas flow rate..

3. Takayuki Watanabe, Manabu Tanaka, Hiiro Murakami, Soon-Ho Kim, Myeong-Hoon Lee, Water Thermal Plasma Characteristics with Mist Generation for Waste Treatment, 4th Asia Pacific Conference on Plasma Physics, 2020.10, [URL], 基調講演：An innovative water plasma torch with mist generation was developed for stable water plasma under atmospheric pressure.

Moreover, the operation condition has been proved with effect for the decomposition rate of BPA and by-product generation..
4. Hydrogen reduction of lunar soil simulants by a fixed bed reactor has drawbacks of a decrease in the reaction rate due to temperature distribution and uneven filling of the sample. One of the processes to solve these problems is the fluidized bed. Hydrogen reduction experiments have been conducted on lunar soil simulants of 100 g by a fluidized bed reactor. Although the fluidized bed gives uniform temperature distribution and high efficiency in the reaction, gravity and the powder characteristics have a significant effect on the fluidization. In addition, continuous operation is difficult for the fluidized bed reaction system.
In this study, a continuous reactor has been built for hydrogen reduction of lunar soil simulants. The continuous screw reactor can handle a wide variety of samples for continuous operation. The reaction efficiency is high due to the large contact area of the sample as it passes through the reactor while rotating.
The developed system will be used for hydrogen reduction of metal oxides with the aim of industrial application. Production of oxygen-deficient metal oxides are expected to be used as highly functional materials in various fields., [URL].
