Chemical reaction kinetic model of hydrogen production from DME partial oxidation by plasma reforming was found. Mole fractions of main products of DME partial oxidation by spark plasma as the function of inlet gas flow rate were calculated at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature. Comparing the results of calculation and experiment, the model was proved to be correct. The mechanism research was done by the method of sensitivity analysis and rate of production. The reduced mechanism which includes 16 species and 13 radical reactions was done. The calculation results of reduced mechanism and detailed mechanism were close. The result shows that the reduced mechanism can be used in chemical reaction kinetic calculation of hydrogen production from DME partial oxidation by spark plasma reforming.
