Abstract
Plasma excited by a longitudinal pulse-periodic discharge in a mixed flow of a buffer gas (Ar), oxidizer (H2O), and aluminum dust is studied. The salient features of its kinetics are the atomic and molecular electronic channels of Al atom transformation, which were not taken into account earlier. They accelerate not only the oxidation process but also aluminum vaporization because the excitation and ionization energies are finally released on the surface of aluminum particles. This work is devoted to experimental and theoretical analysis of these channels.
