Claims20
A method for separating an input feedstock using thermal plasma technology to obtain a processed feedstock and/or remove one or more hazardous compounds, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing the input feedstock to a plasma vortex reactor;
- applying plasma to the plasma vortex reactor to heat the input feedstock and form a heated feedstock;
- and
- separating the input feedstock into at least one of a liquid phase, a solid phase, and a gas phase to obtain the processed feedstock and/or remove the one or more hazardous compounds separated from other substances of the heated feedstock.
A method for producing a product using thermal plasma, the method comprising the steps of:
- mixing an input feedstock and one or more additional feedstock to form a mixed feedstock;
- delivering the mixed feedstock to a plasma rotary furnace;
- applying plasma to the plasma rotary furnace to heat the mixed feedstock and form the product;
- and
- recovering the product.
