ABSTRACT

Heightened requirements to the intensification and improvement of technological processes, caused by a need for increasing the output and upgrading various kinds of products, raise before science the problem of searching for new forms and trends in metallurgy. Applying the plasma equipment and technology in various industrial branches necessitates the development and adoption of the plasma reactor of wide power and capacity ranges. The multi-jet plasma devices allow an actually unlimited increase in the capacity of technological units. Moreover, the employment of chambers with several plasmotrons enables an optimum settlement of the problem of mixing and heating the materials treated and a simultaneous enhancement of the efficiency of plasmo-chemical reactions. This chapter provides the results of the numerical computation and of the experimental investigation of the regimes of treating the dispersed titanium in the plasma reactor with a conic mixing chamber.
