Verfahren zur Durchfuehrung chemischer Reaktionen

摘要

Chemical reactions are carried out under the thermal action of the plasma of an arc discharge by causing a reactant containing a metal or metalloid to swirl and form a vortex in the liquid state so as to at least partially form and stabilize a plasma, and said reactant reacts in the plasma state to form a reaction product containing at least one metal or metalloid component. Chemical reactions which may be carried out are for example reduction, cracking reactions, decomposition and recombination reactions, oxidation, carbide formation and nitride formation.
