Publisher's Synopsis
Currently, the most widely used treatment of waste is thermal processing, such as incineration. However, thermal plasma technologies offer alternative, cutting-edge, and environmentally friendly processes, which are also considered more energy-efficient and safe. This book provides a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to the process of thermal plasma gasification and pyrolysis.
It is an ideal guide for graduate students pursuing further studies in plasma technologies and engineering, in addition to early-career researchers and scientists from related areas looking for material contextual to their own subject matter.
Features:
- Presents an interdisciplinary approach, applicable to a wide range of researchers in waste treatment companies, authorities, and energy and environmental policymakers
- Authored by authorities in the field
- Up to date with the latest developments and technologies
