Abstract
The paper studies the behavior of agglomerated SiO2 particles in thermal plasma processing. The main stages are determined for their transformation to the hollow melt droplets. The proposed model, which includes partial encapsulation of gas, allows describing and analyzing the evolution stages for the particle size and the shell thickness in the ranges of 50-150 μm agglomerated particles and their 0.2-0.6 porosity.
