Water stabilized plasma torch (WSP®) generates plasma jet with max. plasma velocity in the nozzle exit 7000m/s and temperature of 25000-30000 K. Reactants injected into the plasma jet undergo complicated radical reactions. Interaction of plasma with injected reactants depends on energy settings of the WSP plasma torch and lasts from 5 to 10 ms. Droplets of inorganic compound solution are fed to the plasma jet by pressurized spray nozzle device. Compounds of AgI,AlIII,TiIV,PtIV,VV, and CrVI undergo decomposition in the extremely high plasma temperature and the decomposed products are collected in liquid separators. Size of the produced nanoparticles in unsettled fraction is from 10 to 200 nm and depends primarily on concentration of inputting aerosol particles. In the case of 15 seconds reaction time and use of saturated solutions at 20°C, one can obtain colloidal solutions with silver, platinum, alumina, titania, vanadia, and chromia nanoparticles in concentrations of 3 to 180mg
