Abstract: The conventional methods of combustion are not always effective. One of the new methods for waste treatment is the destruction in plasma jet of chemical reactive gases. An unit with plasmotron power up to 50 kW is constructed for the investigations. Sulphur, chlorine and nitrogen containing organic toxic wastes are subjected to destruction. Water steam, air and their mixture are used as plasma generating gas and chemical reagent. The studies are carried out at a different ratio of plasma generating gasltoxic wastes at temperatures to 2000°C. The products are analysed by gas mass spectroscopy. The released gas is composed of Co, H₂ and CO₂. There were found no hydrocarbons, dioxine and furan. Gas heat value is good for its burning without environment pollution.
