Processes involved in the production of nanopowders using a combined plasmatron are analyzed. Results of numerical simulation of the plasmachemical synthesis are presented, including calculations of the motion and heating of a finely dispersed powder in the plasma jet at the output of the combined plasmatron. Based on analysis of the results of simulations, recommendations for the choice of optimum parameters of plasmatron operation are given.
