Efficient approach to the treatment of toxic and hazardous wastes is offered by thermal plasma. Because the arc plasma provides the means to operate the processes at much higher temperatures that are commonly achieved with conventional combustion it can be used to the treatment of the most stable chemical compounds. The target applications of thermal plasma technology are: treatment of the most toxic and hazardous wastes, clean fuel generation from waste and disposal of leftovers coming from conventional incineration plants and nuclear power stations. Some of the research results achieved in the Plasma Technologies & Environmental Protection Group at the Technical University of Lodz are here presented and discussed.
