Abstract
The possibility of controlling energy parameters of plasmatrons with a combined energy supply is studied. It is shown that changing the content of a hydrocarbon component in the initial plasma mixture allows changing over a wide range the absolute value of the plasmatron power and its specific energy parameters during operation, as well as influencing the oxidation-reduction potential of a working medium and conditions of electrode operation. Several possible modes of operation of plasmatrons with the hydrocarbon component in the initial plasma mixture are proposed, allowing changing conditions of the technological process by using the same unchanged design.
