Demonstration plasma gasification/vitrification system for effective hazardous waste treatment.

Plasma Resource Recovery Technology - Converting Waste to Energy and Valuable Products

Plasma Resource Recovery (PRR) is a revolutionary technology that can treat virtually any type of waste by combining gasification with vitrification. Vitrification produces inert slag that can be used as a construction material. Gasification produces a fuel gas containing carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2), used for cogeneration of electricity and steam. The plasma fired eductor which is th...

Using Vitrification for Sewage Sludge Combustion Ash Disposal

The aim of this paper is to show possibilities for effective processing of hazardous waste using the vitrification method, which is recommended for disposing of ash from the combustion of sewage sludge and developing a process for the conversion of waste to a sustainable and environmentally safe product. The use of vitrification solves the problem of utilizing some hazardous waste by simultaneo...

Rf Thermal Plasma Vitrification of Incinerator Bottom and Fly Ashes with Waste Glasses from Fluorescent Lamps

Thermal plasma vitrification is a successfully used technology to treat and recycle hazardous wastes. High plasma temperatures enable to destroy complex molecules and to encapsulate the toxic elements in a non-leaching glass or ceramic matrix, obtaining nonhazardous wastes with large volume reductions. In this work, hazardous incinerator residues (bottom and fly ashes) have been treated by mean...

Plasma pyrolysis and gasification of plastics waste – a review

Plasma pyrolysis integrates thermo-chemical properties of plasma using pyrolysis process for safe disposal of solid wastes. It is an environment friendly technology to generate valuable byproducts by converting municipal solid waste, biomedical waste and hazardous wastes at 800-1000°C. Plasma Pyrolysis of plastic wastes generates pyrolysis gas, which can be utilized for energy recovery via diff...
