Thermo- and photo-oxidation reaction scheme in a treatment system using submerged plasma

摘要

Some of hazardous liquid organic wastes, radioactive or not, are waiting from outlet to be destroyed. The ELIPSE process is a new technology of organic liquid.destruction, involving a thermal plasma working under a water column, which ensures the cooling, the filtration and the scrubbing of the gases coming from the degradation. This study deals with the ability of the ELIPSE process to destroy the pure organic liquids and then to reduce the amount of organic matter remaining in the aqueous solution by means of the thermal or radiative properties of plasma.
