The most advantageous variant on plasma stage efficiency and on reclaiming schematic simplicity is observed to be the spray electric arc plasma processing of the concentrate nitrate solutions with surfactant. It result in as-prepared influorated powders (< 55% ceria in solid solution) with good polishing for some optical silicate glasses (polishing rate 40−51 mg / 30 min) and for hard mineral crystals. %8 2012-05-25
