MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611002079 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology, Roorkee, Uttarakhand, on Jan. 8, for 'plasma-based thermochemical reactor for mixed feedstock conversion.'
Inventor(s) include Kumar, Rahul; Kumar, Vimal; Bansal, Ankit; and Manna, Shyama Prasad.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Examples of plasma-based thermochemical reactors (100) are described herein. In some examples, the reactor (100) includes a shell (101) and a reactor body (120) positioned inside the shell. The reactor body (120) has a first region (121) with a feed inlet (126) to receive solid feedstock, a second region (124) that is narrower and includes a refuse outlet (127) to discharge molten residues, and a mid-region (122) between them that reduces in size from a wide end (122a) toward a narrow end (122b). A set of plasma torches (130) may be mounted around the reactor body (120) and directed inward toward a central axis to provide plasma heating of the feedstock. In another example, the reactor (100) may be used with a plasma clarifier (200) located downstream to further treat gaseous effluents received from the reactor through a gas outlet (141b)."
