<p>Toxic chemicals such as polychlorinated biphenyls and other organic wastes are destroyed, optionally together with inorganic wastes, by injecting them, together with oxygen, into a molten bath such as is utilized in a steelmaking facility. The bath may be melted initially by induction, an electric arc or otherwise; the desired temperature greater than 2500oF. may be maintained thereafter by the reaction of the oxygen and the organic waste. Various by-products may be obtained from the gas.</p> |
