| Abstract |
The use of electrical energy in the form of plasma has been considered as a potentially efficient means of decontaminating hazardous waste. Only a few attempts have been made to actually treat hazardous waste with plasma, however. The paper discusses both direct and indirect waste heating with plasma. Direct heating involves the direct injection of liquid waste into the plasma plume. Indirect heating involves using the plasma to create a bath of molten solid material which is used to heat and decontaminate solid hazardous waste. The paper summarizes the experience to date with plasma based on hazardous waste treatment and discusses the implications of the limited data available. |
