Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatus provide for: feeding glass batch material into a plasma containment vessel; directing one or more sources of plasma gas into an inner volume of the plasma containment vessel in such a way that the plasma gas swirls in a cyclonic fashion within the plasma containment vessel; and applying first and second electromagnetic fields to the plasma gas to facilitate production of a plasma plume within the inner volume of the plasma containment vessel, where the plasma plume is of a generally cylindrical configuration, and is of sufficient thermal energy to cause the glass batch material to thermally react.
