Abstract
A method and apparatus for the manufacture of nitric oxide and/or nitrogen dioxide in which a plasma is formed from nitrogen and oxygen passed through gas inlets into a reaction chamber to create a vorticular flow in the reaction chamber. A source of microwave energy is used to energise the nitrogen and oxygen in a microwave transparent inner plasma containment

1-31. (canceled)
A nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide manufacturing apparatus comprising:
- a first reaction chamber;
- a first set of inlets for introducing reacting gases into the first reaction chamber arranged to create a vorticular flow in the first reaction chamber, wherein the reacting gases are nitrogen and oxygen;
- and
- a first microwave-transparent inner plasma containment cylinder disposed within the first reaction chamber and a first microwave source arranged to direct microwaves at the first microwave-transparent inner plasma containment cylinder to create a plasma.
