The scheme of an evaporator of TiO 2 powder based on a plasma torch of combined type is presented. That scheme is characterized by reducing of the equipment cost by decreasing of RF power in comparison to application of usual ICP torches. An analysis of thermo-physical processes of plasma generation as well as heating of fine TiO 2 particles is presented. The results were a basis for creating of equipment for the production of fine TiO 2 materials and nanostructured TiO 2 materials with lower radio frequency (RF) power consumption.
