Abstract
A melting furnace includes a waste inlet formed on a first side wall of the plasma melting furnace to feed waste therein, an exhaust gas outlet formed on a second side wall facing the first side wall and located diagonally to a direction orthogonal to the first side wall having the waste inlet to discharge the exhaust gas generated in the plasma melting furnace, and a plasma torch mounted on a third side wall for heating inside of the plasma melting furnace at a position nearer to the second side wall than the first side wall so as to inject a plasma into the exhaust gas.
Claims10
A plasma melting furnace for waste treatment by thermal decomposition and melting, the plasma melting furnace comprising:
- a waste inlet formed on a first side wall of the plasma melting furnace to feed waste therein;
- an exhaust gas outlet, which is formed on a second side wall facing the first side wall and located diagonally to an orthogonal direction of the waste inlet to the first side wall, formed to discharge the exhaust gas generated in the plasma melting furnace;
- and
- a plasma torch, which is mounted on a third side wall connecting the first side wall and the second side wall for heating an inside of the plasma melting furnace, mounted at a position nearer to the second side wall than the first side wall so as to inject a plasma to the exhaust gas before the exhaust gas being discharged.
A plasma melting method for waste treatment, the method comprising:
- feeding waste into a plasma melting furnace through a waste inlet formed on a first side wall thereof;
- thermally decomposing and melting the waste in the plasma melting furnace;
- injecting plasma to an exhaust gas from a plasma torch mounted on a third side wall connecting the first side wall of the plasma melting furnace and a second side wall facing the first side wall to remove impurities contained in the exhaust gas;
- and
- discharging the exhaust gas from which impurities are removed through an exhaust gas outlet which is formed on the second side wall and located diagonally to an orthogonal direction of the waste inlet to the first side wall.
