Plasma furnace for treatment of solid toxic wastes

Plasma furnace is intended for combustion and decontamination of solid toxi c wastes with throughput up to 100 kg/h. It is a vertical cylindrical colum n (height is approximate to3 m, internal diameter is approximate to0.5 m) m ade of stainless steel. Its internal surface is made of fire brick. Three A C plasma generators with power of 30, 150, 150 kW are mounted on different height. Quencher for cooling of effluent gases is set at the top of the fur nace. Temperature-sensitive elements are located in 4 points of the furnace . Data on preliminary tests of substances modeling solid waste combustion a re represented. Flue gases samplings were taken for analysis during the exp eriment.
