TY - JOUR AU - Mizoguchi, Satoshi AB - A new carbide method based on “Manganese Cycle” was studied in order to produce new fuel gas. This process consists of four steps; (i) carbide production from Mn2O3 and solid carbon sources, (ii) fuel gas production by means of hydrolysis of the carbide, (iii) spontaneous oxidation of Mn(OH)2 with air to Mn2O3, and (iv) regeneration of the carbide from Mn2O3 and new carbon sources. In this process, manganese is used as a recyclable medium for gas production, and hydrogen and hydrocarbons (C1–C5) are obtained by hydrolysis. Carbon monoxide generated during the formation of the carbide is also utilizable. The addition of Li2CO3 was effective for the carbide reproduction.
