ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for reacting dense-phase chemicals in an induced plasma state, as well as unique reaction products resulting from the method and apparatus, are described. The dense medium plasma reactor generally includes a reaction vessel containing an upper rotatable electrode and a lower static electrode, a device for rotating the upper electrode, a reactant recirculation line, structural elements capable of maintaining the contents of the reaction vessel at atmospheric temperature, and structural elements for cooling the contents of the reaction vessel. Each electrode constitutes a hollow shaft having a first end and a second end which terminates in a disk-shaped planar face. The electrodes are in vertical alignment with one another so that their disc-shaped planar faces are facing one another with a small planar gap located therebetween. The upper rotatable electrode also includes a plurality of ports located circumferentially about its shaft. The method for reacting dense-phase chemicals includes the steps of loading the dense-phase reactant into the reaction vessel, rapidly rotating the upper rotatable electrode, and applying a low voltage direct electric current to the electrode faces. The apparatus and method produce unique reaction products including polyenes, polyynes and fullerene containing materials which exhibit magnetic properties and absorb electromagnetic radiation.
