PLASMA JET CHEMISTRY.
Abstract
A plasma jet has been used as the source of energy for producing a high temperature medium for purposes of chemical synthesis. The tungsten carbides (WC and W2C) were formed in a helium plasma jet from either tungsten or tungsten trioxide (WO3) and methane. Similarly the tantalum carbides (TaC and Ta2C) were produced from tantalum and tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) with methane in a like manner. Hydrogen sulfide was successfully synthesized from its elements in a helium plasma jet.
