A system for destroying mixed and hazardous wastes with no gas or liquid effluents
We developed a conceptual design for a processing system in which the organic components of hazardous or mixed waste would be destroyed, while discharging virtually no gaseous or liquid effluents. Only solid products would be produced. For mixed waste feeds these could then be transported and disposed as low level waste. This system would oxidize the organics using any one of several destruction processes adapted to replace air with a mixture of O{sub 2} and recycled CO{sub 2}. Net production Of CO{sub 2}, HC1, and H{sub 2}O in the dosed recycle system would be scrubbed or reacted to solid products such as CaCO{sub 3}, NaCl, and concrete. This no-effluent design may improve community acceptance of a waste destruction system.
