Abstract: A magnetron for supplying a microwave and an ion burner are provided in an incinerator main body, and the microwave from the magnetron and ion flame from the ion burner are caused to resonate to create a high temperature state in the incinerator main body, whereby waste in the incinerator main body is decomposed and melted by positive (+) and negative (−) activated ions. A tokamak is also provided on the outer side of the incinerator main body so that charged particles (radiation) and electromagnetic wave in the incinerator main body may be reflected and gathered at the center of the incinerator main body to increase an ion concentration to thereby increase a plasma concentration, thereby achieving an improvement in terms of decomposition efficiency. Both or one of quartz and an acceptor level additive is mixed with a furnace wall of the incinerator main body.

Abstract: A power generating system comprising a heating furnace having an ion burner and positioned on the way of a vertical cylindrical path having a lower gas inlet port and an upper gas outlet port, an axial fan disposed in said path, and a power generator disposed out of said path and interlocking with said axial fan, and wherein a temperature and ion concentration inside said heating furnace are increased by said ion burner, with the result that gas flowed in from said gas inlet port flows through said path upward as a vortical ascending current, and said axial fan is rotated by the vortical ascending current, and said power generator is driven by a rotation of said fan for power generation.

Abstract: A porous and spherical silica is recovered in high yields from a neutralized product of an alkali silicate obtained by using an acrylamide type polymer as a coagulation growing agent, and the above silica is reacted as a precursor with a metal compound of the Group II of periodic table in an aqueous medium to obtain amorphous or fine, laminar and crystalline porous and spherical silica or silicate granules having a high degree of true sphericality, a symmetrical grain size distribution and a refractive index over a range of from 1.4 to 1.7. The porous and spherical granules have a primary grain diameter of 0.3 to 30 .mu.m as observed through an electron microscope, have an apparent specific gravity of from 0.05 to 0.5 g/ml, and are cheaply obtained in high yields, and can hence be used as a filler for various paints and resins.

Abstract: A flame-ionizing material formed by molding a composition comprising a magnetic substance and a substance, the specific electric resistance of which is varied under irradiation with radioactive rays, and sintering the molded body in an oxidative atmosphere, has a function of ionizing a flame when the flame is brought into contact with this flame-ionizing material, and if a magnetic field is applied to the flame, a plasma flame having a higher temperature can be formed. Accordingly, this high temperature-generating means and method are valuable in fields where a high temperature is required, for example, for an incineration of industrial wastes and decomposing matter containing a large quantity of water, and the metallurgical and ceramic fields.
