The present disclosure provides a method for catalytic conversion of waste plastic into liquid fuel. The method comprises thermally decomposing the waste plastic at a temperature in the range of 350 to 650° C. and under a pressure in the range of 0.0010 psi to 0.030 psi, to obtain a gaseous stream. The gaseous stream is further subjected to four stage sequential cooling to a temperature in the range of −5 to −15° c. to obtain a gas-liquid mixture comprising a gaseous fraction and a liquid fraction. The gas-liquid mixture is fed to the gas-liquid separator to obtain the gaseous fraction comprising C1 to C4 hydrocarbons and the liquid fraction comprising liquid fuel. The method of the present disclosure is simple, economical and energy efficient, which provides a high value liquid fuel with enhanced yield.

A microwave-based thermal coupling chemical looping gasification method and device. The device includes: a microwave radiation cavity; a loading recess of a microwave absorbing material; and a quartz pipe reaction cavity between the microwave radiation cavity and the loading recess of a microwave absorbing material. A microwave generator consisting of magnetrons is provided at a central portion of the microwave radiation cavity and below the loading recess. An infrared temperature-measuring probe group is arranged at two ends of the magnetrons. Two ends of the microwave radiation cavity are connected to a first and second three-way valves, in communication with the ambient atmosphere and a protection gas charging device. A protection gas cooling device and a protection gas circulating fan are sequentially connected in series on a pipeline between the valves.

A photochemical reactor is disclosed which includes a reaction chamber, the reaction chamber includes a frame, one or more circuit boards each coupled to the frame and each carrying a plurality of light sources, a power source coupling, adapted to power the one or more circuit boards, and a vial receiver centrally disposed about the one or more circuit boards. The photochemical reactor further includes an agitator configured to rotate the vial receiver.

Methods and devices and aspects thereof for generating power using PEM fuel cell power systems comprising a rotary bed (or rotatable) reactor for hydrogen generation are disclosed. Hydrogen is generated by the hydrolysis of fuels such as lithium aluminum hydride and mixtures thereof. Water required for hydrolysis may be captured from the fuel cell exhaust. Water is preferably fed to the reactor in the form of a mist generated by an atomizer. An exemplary 750 We-h, 400 We PEM fuel cell power system may be characterized by a specific energy of about 550 We-h/kg and a specific power of about 290 We/kg. Turbidity fixtures within the reactor increase turbidity of fuel pellets within the reactor and improve the energy density of the system.
