ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for thermal decomposition of stable substances, preferably chemical hazardous waste. The invention achieves a high decomposition temperature by giving the waste the necessary decomposition temperature through the use of a plasma generated in a plasma burner. The waste itself can be carried through a plasma generator. Alternately, part, or all of the waste can be mixed with the plasma in a reaction chamber where decomposition takes place. The carrier gas of the plasma can be given a temperature of 3000.degree. to 4000.degree. C., or under certain conditions even a higher temperature. The invention also includes additional steps to eliminate toxic gases that might form during the decomposition of the waste or the cooling of the resultant gases.
