Abstract
Abstract A plasma-chemical reactor for treatment of disperse materials comprises a vertical working chamber. The top portion of the working chamber includes means to feed the disperse material into the reactor. The working chamber is provided with means for feeding and plasma-heating process gas, said means being a number of plasmatrons the nozzles of which are arranged along the periphery of the working chamber bottom portion and directed essentially at a right angle to the working chamber vertical axis. The reactor also includes means for evacuating gaseous products from the working chamber and a bin located under the working chamber and communicating with the bottom portion thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A plasma-chemical reactor for treatment of disperse materials, with a process gas comprising: a vertical working chamber; means for feeding the disperse materials into the top portion of said working chamber; a plurality of plasmatrons for plasma-heating of the process gas, said plasmatrons having nozzles arranged around and joined with the periphery of the bottom portion of said working chamber and directed generally at right angles to the vertical axis of said working chamber for feeding process gas directly into the bottom portion of said working chamber; means for withdrawing gaseous products from said working chamber at a location above the nozzles of said plasmatrons; and a bin connected to and located directly under said working chamber and communicating directly therewith.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
121 words
A plasma-chemical reactor for treatment of disperse materials, with a process gas comprising: a vertical working chamber; means for feeding the disperse materials into the top portion of said working chamber; a plurality of plasmatrons for plasma-heating of the process gas, said plasmatrons having nozzles arranged around and joined with the periphery of the bottom portion of said working chamber and directed generally at right angles to the vertical axis of said working chamber for feeding process gas directly into the bottom portion of said working chamber; means for withdrawing gaseous products from said working chamber at a location above the nozzles of said plasmatrons; and a bin connected to and located directly under said working chamber and communicating directly therewith.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A plasma-chemical reactor as claimed in claim 1, wherein said means for withdrawing gaseous products are located in the top portion of said working chamber.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
A plasma-chemical reactor as claimed in claim 1, further comprising means to withdraw gaseous products from said bin.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
A plasma-chemical reactor as claimed in claim 2, further comprising means to withdraw gaseous products from said bin.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
54 words
A plasma-chemical reactor as claimed in claim 3, which further comprises a connector sleeve communicating said working chamber with said bin, and another sleeve surrounding said connector sleeve and serving as said means for withdrawing gaseous products from said bin, thus ensuring external heating of said connector sleeve by virture of waste gaseous products.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
54 words
A plasma-chemical reactor as claimed in claim 4, which further comprises a connector sleeve communicating said working chamber with said bin, and another sleeve surrounding said connector sleeve and serving as said means for withdrawing gaseous products from said bin, thus ensuring external heating of said connector sleeve by virture of waste gaseous products.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
33 words
A plasma-chemical reactor as claimed in claim 3, further comprising a plasma heating device located in the top portion of said working chamber for heating the disperse material fed into said working chamber.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
36 words
A plasma-chemical as claimed in claim 7, further comprising outlets interposed between said plasma heating device and said plasmatrons at two different levels and serving as said means for withdrawing gaseous products from said working chamber.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
41 words
A plasma-chemical reactor as claimed in claim 7, further comprising a coaxial plasmatron serving as said plasma heating device arranged along the axis of said working chamber and having a hollow central electrode for the disperse material to be fed therethrough.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
40 words
A plasma-chemical as claimed in claim 8, further comprising a coaxial plasmatron serving as said plasma heating device arranged along the axis of said working chamber and having a hollow central electrode for the disperse material to be fed therethrough.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
46 words
A plasma-chemical reactor as claimed in claim 7, further comprising a mixing chamber located in the top portion of said working chamber and communicating therewith and a number of plasmatrons arranged radially with respect to said mixing chamber to form along therewith said plasma heating device.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
46 words
A plasma-chemical reactor as claimed in claim 8, further comprising a mixing chamber located in the top portion of said working chamber and communicating therewith and a number of plasmatrons arranged radially with respect to said mixing chamber to form along therewith said plasma heating device.
