PLASMA JET CHEMISTRY

Abstract
Two types of plasma jets were built and used: a dc high intensity plasma jet and a radiofrequency plasma jet. A detailed description of the devices, their operating conditions and characteristics are presented. Detailed descriptions are given of the preparation of several gaseous endothermic compounds with the plasma jet, such as (CN)2, HCN, acetylene, and the oxides of N. Various methods of preparation of these compounds are reported. The use of the plasma jet as a reducing device for oxides was tested with Al2O3. Although the investigations were not completed, the results of the first experiments are included.
