The possibilities of plasma-chemical conversion of liquid hydrocarbons in “recessed” electric arc plasma have been studied. It is shown that arc discharge organized in hydrocarbon thickness can effectively carry out plasma-chemical conversion of hydrocarbons and serve as an effective tool for the synthesis of a wide variety of carbon nanostructures. When organizing an additional high-voltage discharge in hydrocarbon gases can be separated from hydrocarbons up to 90% of the hydrogen contained in them.
