The invention provides an arc plasma torch and relates to a plasma heating device. The arc plasma torch is characterized in that the torch is composed of a positive pole, a combined negative pole, a torch barrel and a back seat, wherein the positive pole, the torch barrel and the back seat are arranged in a coaxial mode, the back end of the torch barrel is connected on the back seat to form a torch body, the positive pole is connected at the front end of the torch barrel, a loop core space of the positive pole forms a nozzle, an inner space of the torch barrel forms an air chamber, and the back seat forms a back closed end of the torch barrel; the positive pole is of a hollow ring form structure, a ring-form cooling groove is arranged in the ring form, and the ring-form cooling groove is connected with a cooling water port; and the combined negative pole is composed of a negative pole rod, a negative pole head and a negative pole cap, the portion from the middle to the front end of the negative pole rod is of a tubular structure, a cooling cavity is formed in the space in a tube, the front end of the negative pole head is a reduced circular conical surface, and a back portion solid of the negative pole head is provided with a driving water gasification hole or a vaporization fin. The arc plasma torch is used in a gasification device, the efficiency of the torch reaches nearly 100%, and the arc plasma torch can effectively protect the negative pole and the negative pole from being ablated.
