The invention extracts and eliminates electrodes and additional combustion substances from the gasification system, replacing them with microwave plasma technology that achieves high temperatures without introducing polluting materials into the termination products
Solution Approach 2:
The invention replaces the mechanical/electrical system of electrodes with a electromagnetic field-based microwave plasma system, which generates high-temperature processing without the mechanical contact and pollution associated with traditional electrode systems
2Adaptability or versatility
If mechanical displacement of electrodes is used to control plasma flow, then the plasma flow direction can be adjusted, but the device complexity and reliability decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The invention replaces mechanical displacement mechanisms with electromagnetic field control, using the properties of microwave plasma and magnetic fields to control plasma flow direction without moving parts, thereby reducing device complexity and improving reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The invention employs dynamic control of electromagnetic fields and plasma parameters to achieve flexible plasma flow direction control, replacing static mechanical adjustment mechanisms with dynamic field-based control
