The plasma flame 11 is generally a plasma flame generator. The water inlet pipes 5 are connected to the water-cooled outer pipes 7, and the water outlet pipes 6 are connected to the water-cooled inner pipes 8. The water-cooled inner pipes 8 are disposed inside the water-cooled outer pipes 7 and have a gap. The gap is used to connect the water-cooled outer pipes 7 and the water-cooled inner pipes 8 to allow cooling water to flow.
[0027] The powder feeding unit and the powder inlet pipe 4 are each provided in three sets. The powder feeding unit feeds the powder into the powder inlet pipe 4. The water-cooled outer pipe 7 and the water-cooled inner pipe 8 are both cylindrical structures. The water-cooled inner pipe 8 is fitted inside the water-cooled outer pipe 7. Cooling water flows inside the water-cooled outer pipe 7 and the water-cooled inner pipe 8. A gap is provided between the water-cooled inner pipe 8 and the water-cooled outer and inner pipes for the flow of cooling water.
[0028] Specifically, cold water flows into the gap between the water-cooled outer pipe 7 and the water-cooled inner pipe 8 through the inlet pipe 5, flows to the graphite mixing nozzle 9 on the right, and then flows to the left through the gap between the water-cooled inner pipe 8 and the powder inlet pipe 4, and flows out through the outlet pipe 6, thereby carrying away the heat radiated to each pipe by the plasma flame 11, ensuring the normal use of the pipes.
[0029] The powder inlet pipe 4 passes through the water-cooled inner pipe 8 and is connected to the graphite mixing nozzle 9. One end of the water-cooled outer pipe 7 is connected to the graphite mixing nozzle 9. The plasma generator 10 is connected to the plasma flame 11 and is located on one side of the graphite mixing nozzle 9.

This structure allows multiple powder feeding pipes to be integrated, enabling various powders to be mixed and sprayed into the plasma flame for high-temperature reaction. This avoids using a separate feeding system for each powder, simplifying the overall structure and reducing costs.
[0031] In one exemplary embodiment of this utility model, the powder feeding unit includes a regulating valve 2 and a powder feeder 3. One end of the regulating valve 2 is connected to the air source 1, and the other end is connected to the powder feeder 3. The powder feeder 3 is connected to the powder inlet pipe 4.
[0032] In use, the gas supplied by the gas source 1 is adjusted to the appropriate pressure through the regulating valve 2, and the powder in the powder feeder 3 is sent into the powder inlet pipe 4. Then, the three powders are mixed through the graphite mixing nozzle 9 and sprayed into the plasma flame 11 for reaction.
[0033] The water-cooled outer tube 7 and the water-cooled inner tube 8 are coaxial steel pipes of different diameters, separated by an inner and outer gap channel formed by the water-cooled inner tube 88, through which water flows. Figure 3 As shown.
[0034] In addition, both the water-cooled outer tube 7 and the water-cooled inner tube 8 are provided with end caps at the ends away from the graphite mixing nozzle 9 for sealing.
[0035] In one exemplary embodiment of this utility model, the graphite mixing nozzle 9 includes a connecting block 12 and a nozzle body 14. The nozzle body 14 is connected to one end of the water-cooled outer tube 7 and the water-cooled inner tube 8 via the connecting block 12. The powder inlet pipe 4 passes through the connecting block 12 and communicates with the nozzle body 14. The nozzle body 14 is provided with a mixing chamber 13, a flow chamber 15, and an ejection chamber 16. The mixing chamber 13 is connected to the ejection chamber 16 via the flow chamber 15.
