Plasma technologies of solid and liquid toxic waste disinfection

There is waste (hazardous and toxic waste), which should not be mixed with industrial waste and garbage. It's formed in small proportion and should be processed or disposed according to special technologies. It includes radioactive waste, war waste (WTA, missile fuel, etc.) toxic and supertoxic industrial waste, hazardous and toxic medical waste. A number of experimental treatment technologies of some kinds of waste with application of low temperature air plasma generators on AC three-phase current of commercial frequency have been developed. They have some advantages. Ionized plasma particles are chemically active that makes the process more intensive. Use of air (heated in the plasma generator up to high temperature) as an oxidizing agent decreases flue gases quantity. High temperature provides high quenching rate, which allows creating methastable and non-equilibrium states Application of plasma generators of commercial frequency essentially decreases their cost due to a great number of standard equipment. Use of electric energy instead of fuel in a number of cases is more profitable on cost indexes. The process of temperature mode control in the furnace is more simple at the expense of possibility to change thermal capacity of the plasma jet.
