A new laboratory system for hazardous waste destruction was tested at a laboratory scale. The experimental device consists of 7 units: an electrical furnace, a plasma reactor, a catalytic reactor, a water cooler, a neutraliser, a carbon adsorber and a fan. The experimental system could be built using different units depending on the waste composition with the aim to adopt the system to various kinds of wastes. The first step of the waste degradation was the thermal decomposition in argon flow. The second one was the oxidation of hydrocarbons formed in the first step using non-equilibrium plasma in the presence of oxygen. Finally, the gases leaving the plasma reactor were purified. Two types of wastes (solid and liquid) were degraded. The re...
