Description
This talk presents advanced approaches for plasma-based waste treatment. Different designs of plasma torches and generation systems are discussed, including RF, DC, and MW plasma, are analysed and compared for waste-to-energy and radioactive waste treatment applications. Novel plasma torch design is proposed to support different scales and types of waste treatment. Process engineering techniques for gasification and pyrolysis process are integrated with the radioactive waste treatment process, which are illustrated with waste characterization. The proposed approaches showed reduced waste treatment costs, risks, volumes, in addition to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and improved lifecycle performance. Plasma systems are utilized for nuclear and municipal waste treatment with analysis of different waste categories and types. Process design is discussed for plasma torch that can reduce the volume and lifecycle cost of waste processing. Simulation methods and experimental setups demonstrate lab-scale process technologies for plasma-based waste treatment.
