Title: A Novel Energy-Efficient Plasma Chemical Process for the Destruction of Volatile Toxic Compounds

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/827273· OSTI ID:827273

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: (i) Off-gases resulting from air-stripping of contaminated soil and water. (ii) Effluent from the incineration of highly-concentrated combustible hazardous wastes The objective of our research program is to develop a novel plasma chemical process for the destruction of VTC's in low-concentration waste streams.
