Abstract

The results of long-term studies of plasma-chemical technology of pyrolysis, hydrogenation, thermo-chemical pre-combustion, gasification, plasma radiation and complex processing of solid fuels, including uranium-bearing shales, and cracking of hydrocarbon gases are presented. Thermo-chemical preparation of fuel for combustion is carried out in a plasma-fuel system which is a reaction chamber with a plasma torch while the remaining fuel use plasma technology are carried out in a plasma-chemical reactor of combined type with nominal capacity of 100 kW in which the zone of heat release from an electric arc is combined with the zone of chemical reactions
