Title: A novel energy-efficient plasma chemical process for the destruction of volatile toxic compounds. 1998 annual progress report

Abstract

'Removal of low-concentrations (below several percent) of volatile toxic compounds (VTCs) from contaminated air streams is encountered at DOE waste sites in two instances: (1) off-gases resulting from air-stripping of contaminated soils; and (2) effluent from the incineration of highly-concentrated combustible hazardous wastes The objective of the research program is to develop a novel plasma chemical process for the destruction of VTC''s in low-concentration waste streams.'
