Patent

CA 2115773

A system and method are provided for the non-thermal destruction of hazardous waste material using an electrodeless inductively coupled RF plasma torch (30). The waste material (26, 32) is combined with a controllable source of free electrons (34), and the RF plasma torch is used to excite the free electrons, raising their temperature to 3000 °C or more. The electrons are maintained at this temperature for a sufficient time to enable the free electrons to dissociate the waste material as a re- sult of collisions and ultraviolet radiation generated in situ (60) by elec- tron-molecule collisions. The source of free electrons is preferably an in- ert gas such as argon, which may be used as both the waste material carrier gas and the torch gas.
