Title : Advances in plasma-based waste treatment for sustainable communities

Abstract:

This talk presents advanced approaches for plasma-based waste treatment. Different designs of plasma torches and generation systems are discussed, including RF, DC, and microwave plasma, are analysed and compared for waste-to-energy applications. Novel plasma torch design is proposed to support different scales of waste treatment. Process engineering techniques for gasification and pyrolysis process are illustrated with waste characterization. The proposed approaches showed reduced greenhouse gas emissions and improved lifecycle performance. Plasma systems are utilized for nuclear waste treatment for low, intermediate, and high radioactive waste. Process design is discussed for plasma torch that can reduce the volume of radioactive waste. Potential approaches are explored for mass separation that could be utilized for high-level radioactive waste. Simulation methods and experimental setups demonstrate lab-scale process technologies for plasma-based waste treatment.
