Abstract :
A plasma reactor system is reported here for applications in mineral beneficiation, materials synthesis, separation of gases, and other uses. Construction, maintenance, and operation were relatively inexpensive. A model describing plasma rotation is also given, including a unique method for determination of rotation from electron radiation
