ABSTRACT:
A method for optimizing the efficiency of an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) torch by varying at least one of a plasma gas flow rate and a power level applied to energize the ICP torch, and method and apparatus for efficiently using a CO.sub.2 feed as both a reactant and for generating a thermal plasma to produce high value chemical feed stocks, such as a synthesis gas or carbon monoxide from low value feedstocks, such as methane or carbon.
