PLASMA REACTOR FOR REPROCESSING REFRACTORY MATERIALS Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: material reprocessing. SUBSTANCE: with minimal interelectrode clearance 1= 30-60 mm characteristic of nominal operation mode of plasma reactor ratio 1/h is chosen within limits 1≅ l/h≅ 2,, where h is distance from level of pole pieces to ends of electrodes. Electrode feeding mechanism is manufactured with capability of feeding anode and cathode with different speeds. For registration of position of electrodes and attachment of feeding mechanism the latter is mounted on bracket having three degrees of freedom. Inner surface of sections is coated with oxide material, metal straps are placed at joints of longitudinal sections to enhance tightness of sectionalized chamber. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency and reliability of operation of plasma reactor while re[processing refractory materials. 4 cl, 3 dwg
