Abstract

A high-temperature reaction method is disclosed. The method comprises coupling an inductive heating coil to the contents of a reaction vessel, containing at least one conductive reactant with a coupling efficiency that is different than the coupling efficiency between the coil and the contents of the reaction vessel at the completion of the reaction. An alternating voltage is developed across the coil and the current flowing in the coil is monitored. Typically, the monitored current increases as the reaction proceeds until the reaction is completed whereupon a constant current value is obtained.
