Thermal Destruction of Waste Using Plasma
نویسنده
چکیده
Thermal technologies for the treatment of waste are once again attracting interest, particularly in Europe and North Amerca, as landfill space becomes scarcer and landfill regulations become more stringent. Plasma technologies can be used to destroy waste at high temperatures, using electricity to convert waste into a fuel gas and an inert rock. The Plasma Arc Waste Destruction System’s (PAWDS) is used to destroy waste on board ships. The Plasma Resource Recovery System (PRRS) is used to recover energy and produce a vitrified rock from waste on land. As the use of plasma for waste treatment is becoming more widespread, plasma is gaining acceptance all around the world.

Microwave plasma conversion of volatile organic compounds.
A microwave-induced, steam/Ar/O2, plasma "torch" was operated at atmospheric pressure to determine the feasibility of destroying volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of concern. The plasma process can be coupled with adsorbent technology by providing steam as the fluid carrier for desorbing the VOCs from an adsorbent. Hence, N2 can be excluded by using a relatively inexpensive carrier gas, and the...
متن کاملEfficient, Modular Microwave Plasma Torch for Thermal Treatment
A high-efficiency and high-power atmospheric pressure plasma torch has been operated in air and nitrogen by modularly combining two 2.54 GHz microwave plasma sources. Each modular plasma device uses a shorted waveguide within which the plasma is sustained. They are arranged in series so the second torch adds all its power to the output of the first torch to produce one high power flame. Total m...

In order to achieve both power and cooling supply for users, a new combined cooling and power system using ammonia–water mixture is proposed to utilizing low grade heat sources, such as industrial waste heat, solar energy and geothermal energy. The proposed system combines a Kalina cycle and an ammonia–water absorption refrigeration cycle, in which the ammonia–water turbine exhaust is delivered...
متن کاملThermal Plasma Assisted Gasification of Polymers
Gasification of various hydrocarbons with help of thermal plasma is studied at the Institute of Plasma Physics (IPP). Such treatment can be way of recycling of polymer waste with production of high purity synthesis gas (syngas) mainly composed of hydrogen and CO. A plasma torch with hybrid stabilization of arc used in the reactor allows higher efficiency for gasification than other processes. T...
