Abstract
The fully friendly to the environment and the most cost-effective thermal plasma system for waste destruction are here presented. The proposed solutions are directed towards zero emission of any hazardous residuals. This results in no longer waste storage in landfills if the plasma technologies are widely commercialised. The final product (vitrified material) obtained after the plasma treatment is environmentally acceptable. It can return to the environment as an aggregate in the construction industry.
