Abstract :
This paper presents the results of experimental investigations of a developed, unique, high-pressure inductively coupled plasma system. This paper includes the performance parameters of the plasma system operation with different gases at elevated by 5-bar pressures. The results show the way to the development of a high-power plasma systems with extended service time to enable such promising technologies as coal, sewage, biomass, and municipal solid waste (MSW) gasification.
