Abstract: Thermal plasmas have attracted extensive attention due to their unique advantages, and it is expected to be utilized for a number of industrial applications. In spite of these experimental efforts for industrial applications, thermal plasma generation and its characteristics remain to be explored. Combination of the two-color pyrometry and the high-speed camera observation is a powerful tool to reveal the electrode phenomena. In this presentation, fundamental researches for electrode phenomena determining thermal plasma characteristics to develop innovative industrial applications of material processing and waste treatment.
