Plasma gasification/vitrification is an innovative and environmentally friendly method of waste treatment. A demonstration plasma gasification/vitrification unit was developed and installed in Viotia region in order to examine the efficiency of this innovative technology in dealing with hazardous waste. The preliminary results from the trial runs of the plasma unit, as well as the study of the influence of certain parameters in the system performance are presented and analyzed in this paper, contributing to the improvement of the operation performance. Finally, data on the final air emissions and the vitrified ash toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) results are provided in order to assess the environmental performance of the system. The produced slag was found to be characterized by extremely low leaching properties and can be utilized as construction material, while the values of the polluting parameters of the air emissions were satisfactory.
等离子体气化/玻璃化是一种创新且环保的废物处理方法。为了检验这项创新技术处理危险废物的效率，在维奥蒂亚地区开发并安装了一个示范等离子体气化/玻璃化装置。本文介绍并分析了等离子体装置试运行的初步结果，以及某些参数对系统性能影响的研究，有助于提高运行性能。最后，提供了最终空气排放数据和玻璃化灰毒性特征浸出程序（TCLP）结果，以评估该系统的环境性能。结果发现，所产生的炉渣具有极低的浸出特性，可作为建筑材料使用，同时空气排放的污染参数值也令人满意。
