The processes occurring during plasma-chemical synthesis of melts from silicate-containing materials as well as technological regimes during the production of silicate refractory melts using highly concentrated heat flows are examined. The results of physical–chemical studies of the initial silicate materials (basalt, oil shale wastes, and ash) and aluminosilicate glasses obtained are presented.
