Abstract

A high temperature arc heater and reaction chamber for liquid state material processing and collection characterized by at least one arc heater connected tangentially to a circular reaction chamber where separation of liquid and gases occurs centrifugally and in which chamber an inner wall operates at relatively high temperature to limit the thickness of material buildup such as titanium or zirconium which solidifies on the wall.
