Abstract: Production of oxides of rare-earth elements from dispersed aqueous salt solutions in an electric arc plasma reactor has been studied numerically and experimentally. Experimental studies have also been made for oxalates and carbonates.

Keywords: numerical calculations; interaction; dispersed solutions; electric arc plasma reactors; rare-earth elements; oxides; aqueous solutions; oxalates; carbonates; thermal decomposition; dispersed salts.
