Abstract :
An experimental device for producing argon plasma jet was developed. Chamotte wastes were melted in the plasma jet, at temperatures of 1500 K and velocities up to 800 m·s-1. SiO2 particles with dimensions between 20 μm and 66 μm, were obtained through the pulverization of the melt followed by its solidification. The elaborated theoretical model verifies with good precision the experimental values obtained for the particle diameter
