Abstract (en)

Plasma processing of powder particles is performed by supplying a first gas stream, containing particle material to be processed, and a second gas stream comprising a plasma carrier gas. The first gas stream is supplied from an inlet pipe into a dielectric pipe. The dielectric pipe coaxially surrounds the inlet pipe, and extends beyond a downstream end of the inlet pipe. The second gas stream is supplied into a space between the inlet pipe and the dielectric pipe and from there into the dielectric pipe beyond a downstream end of the inlet pipe. A surface dielectric barrier plasma discharge is generated along the inner surface of the dielectric pipe at least on a part of the dielectric pipe upstream of the downstream end of the inlet pipe.
