This Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Phase I project explores a novel hybrid steam-plasma (HSP) torch that has broad application for advanced materials synthesis, chemical conversion, waste redemption, coating deposition, and gasification. The research objectives aim at a prototype HSP torch and focus on demonstrating its application in plasma spray operations. The demonstration focuses on reliability and ease of use in an industrial environment. The Phase I research will address issues like requirements for a durable electrode material for the steam-plasma environment. Plasma spraying is expected to have a large market potential. Phase II is planned to include detailed evaluations on the metallurgical nature of the sprayed metal and of its bonding characteristics with substrates. Use of the HSP torch is expected to improve process productivity and open new applications for plasma spray technology. As a generic processing tool, it may open a broad range of chemical processing applications. These include nano-powered synthesis, conversion of methane to acetylene, and gasification of black liquor in the pulp industry. A significant market for this technology may be found in the treatment of hazardous chemical and biological agents, including CFC's, PCB's, and other toxic or carcinogenic substances.

这个小型企业创新研究 (SBIR) 第一阶段项目探索了一种新型混合蒸汽-等离子体 (HSP) 火炬，该火炬在先进材料合成、化学转化、废物回收、涂层沉积和气化方面具有广泛的应用。 研究目标针对原型 HSP 炬，重点是展示其在等离子喷涂操作中的应用。 该演示重点关注工业环境中的可靠性和易用性。 第一阶段研究将解决诸如蒸汽等离子体环境中耐用电极材料的要求等问题。 等离子喷涂预计具有很大的市场潜力。 第二阶段计划包括对喷涂金属的冶金性质及其与基材的结合特性进行详细评估。 HSP 炬的使用预计将提高工艺生产率并为等离子喷涂技术开辟新的应用。 作为一种通用加工工具，它可以开辟广泛的化学加工应用。 其中包括纳米动力合成、甲烷转化为乙炔以及纸浆工业中黑液的气化。 该技术的一个重要市场可能是在危险化学和生物制剂的处理中，包括氟氯化碳、多氯联苯和其他有毒或致癌物质。
