Abstract
The waste disposal system disclosed herein includes a chamber operated at high ampere and low voltage, the chamber configured to inject smoke on a stream of free radicals. In one implementation, the stream of free radicals is generated from a plasma igniter and the smoke is generated from waste products, such as hospital waste products.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- generating a stream of free radicals using a low energy plasma torch generating cold plasma;
- injecting at least one of smoke, combustible gas, air, steam, and inert gas into a secondary chamber;
- and
- impinging the stream of free radicals on the flow of the at least one of smoke, combustible gas, air, steam, and inert gas,
- wherein the secondary chamber further comprises a catalyst to accelerate the reaction of the free radicals with the smoke.
2 more elements
A system for disposing waste, the system comprising:
- a plasma igniter configured to create a stream of free radicals;
- a means for generating smoke from solid waste, wherein the smoke having a heat value of at least one BTU/g;
- and
- a chamber configured to inject smoke into the stream of free radicals, wherein the chamber further comprises a catalyst to accelerate the reaction of the free radicals with the smoke.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- generating a stream of free radicals using at least one of a plasma torch and a plasma igniter;
- injecting smoke generated from at least one of waste chemical, liquid waste, processing byproducts, gasses, vapors, and fuel streams into the stream of free radicals;
- and
- accelerating reaction of the smoke with the stream of free radicals using catalyst in a secondary chamber.
