<p>A method and an apparatus for thermal decomposition of stable substances, preferably chemical hazardeous waste. The intention is to achieve so high a decomposition temperature that the quantity of remaining chemical traces after the decomposition has been reduced to an absolute minimum. This is achieved by giving the waste the necessary decomposition temperature in a plasma generated in a plasma burner (12). Part of or the whole quantity of the waste is brought into the carrier gas of the plasma. Alternatively part of or the whole quantity of the waste can be supplied to the plasma and mixed with its high temperature carrier gas. The carrier gas of the plasma can be given a temperature of 3000-4000 C or under certain conditions still higher. </p> |
