This review describes the current status of waste treatment using thermal plasma technology. A comprehensive analysis of the available scientific and technical literature on waste plasma treatment is presented, including the treatment of a variety of hazardous wastes, such as residues from municipal solid waste incineration, slag and dust from steel production, asbestos-containing wastes, health care wastes and organic liquid wastes. The principles of thermal plasma generation and the technologies available are outlined, together with potential applications for plasma vitrified products. There have been continued advances in the application of plasma technology for waste treatment, and this is now a viable alternative to other potential treatment/disposal options. Regulatory, economic and socio-political drivers are promoting adoption of advanced thermal conversion techniques such as thermal plasma technology and these are expected to become increasingly commercially viable in the future.
本综述描述了利用热等离子体技术进行废物处理的现状。对现有的关于废物等离子体处理的科学技术文献进行了全面分析，包括对各种危险废物的处理，如城市固体废物焚烧残渣、钢铁生产中的炉渣和粉尘、含石棉废物、医疗废物和有机液体废物。概述了热等离子体产生的原理和可用技术，以及等离子体玻璃化产品的潜在应用。等离子体技术在废物处理中的应用不断取得进展，现在已成为其他潜在处理/处置选择的可行替代方案。监管、经济和社会政治驱动因素正在推动采用热等离子体技术等先进的热转化技术，预计这些技术在未来将越来越具有商业可行性。
