Steam, methane and carbon dioxide thermal plasma interaction with perhalocarbons

Analysis of gas dynamics in a single-phase two-channel plasma torch at cold blowing and considering the interaction with the electric arc

“…The characteristics of low-temperature plasma generators depend on the interactions of plasma-forming working gas jets with electric arcs and on the organization of plasma-forming working gases. High-voltage AC plasma torches with power up to 50 kW and rod electrodes were developed and tested at the Institute for Institute for Electrophysics and Electric Power RAS (IEE RAS) [1][2][3][4][5]. The properties of electric arcs burning in cylindrical channels of plasma torches have not yet been fully studied, although a large amount of research work has been done to date [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

High voltage AC plasma torch operating on vapours of organic substances

“…In addition, the processing of waste by nonequilibrium plasma is investigated: gliding discharge [3], DBD [4], RF plasma [5]. Particular interest is plasma processing with steam, which leads to the decomposition of complex heteroatomic organic substances (e.g., chlorinated) with the formation of an appropriate hydride (e.g., hydrogen chloride) [6]. Steam plasma torches were used for gasification of municipal solid waste [7], treatment of polychlorinated biphenyls [8], perfluorinated compound [9], reforming natural gas [10], etc.…”
