Abstract
A thermal plasma can be generated using a pair of electrodes spaced apart from each other by a gap along a first direction. One or more reactants can be conveyed into and / or through at least a portion of the generated plasma. For example, the portion of the generated plasma can subject the reactant(s) to a temperature of at least 1000 K. As a result, the one or more reactants can undergo a thermochemical reaction that converts the one or more reactants into one or more products.
