Abstract
This chapter describes the thermal plasma processing in static bed reactor. The static bed is a plasma reactor in which plasma melt separation of metallized ilmenite takes place to produce titania-rich slag. Here the effects of various experimental parameters were studied on the slag quality as well as EC.
