Chemical process in high enthalpy thermal environment and apparatus therefor
Abstract
Abstract A PROCESS OF THE CONTINUOUS TYPE FOR TREATING A FLOWABLE NON-GASEOUS MATERIAL INCLUDES THE STEPS OF ESTABLISHING AN ELECTRIC ARC CONDITIONS AND MAINTAINING THAT ARC CONDITION AT A CURRENT DENSITY SUFFICIENT TO GIVE THE ARC A POSITIVE RESISTANCE CHARACTERISTIC TO ESTABLISH A HIGH ENTHALPY ZONE, INTRODUCING THE FLOWABLE MATERIAL FOR PASSAGE THROUGH THE MAINTAINED ARC AND THE HIGH ENTHALPY ZONE AND THEN THROGH A COOLING ATMOSPHERE TO A COLLECTION ZONE. THE APPARATUS FOR PREFORMING THIS PROCESS INCLUDES A CHAMBER IN WHICH ARE DISPOSED A PAIR OF SPACED CARBON CONTAINING ELECTRODES BETWEEN WHICH A HIGH INTENSITY ARE DISCHARGE IS ESTABLISHED WITH A TAIL FLAME SO THAT AN ELONGATED HIGH ENTHALPY ZONE IS DEFINED.
