Abstract
Vitrification using thermal plasma has been identified as a promising thermal treatment technology since it allows recycling and reusing the hazardous wastes, thus avoiding their landfill disposal. Its predominant characteristics are high temperature and high energy density, which allows fast heat transfer at the reactor boundaries and correspondingly shorter treatment times during thermal processing.
