The experiment was realized in 80 kVA plasma reactor with dependent plasma arc. The nitrogen was used as inert gas to a plasma arc created. The main aim of these experiments was the generation energy efficiently, reducing the time required to destroy molecules of the treated waste, the elimination of emissions and streamline of the degradation process Compared to the conventional methods of thermal processing.
