Abstract
A few years ago Moscow’s Scientific and Industrial Association (SIA) “Radon” began investigating technologies for the thermo-chemical treatment of the following hazardous organic wastes: radioactive waste, mixed waste, and chemical or biological hazardous waste. Conventional thermal treatment technologies (e.g., incineration) encounter many problems when used to treat organic and biological radioactive waste. Both gaseous and liquid wastes, produced during the incineration process, are chemically aggressive and hazardous. Consequently, conventional thermal treatment technologies require a complex system of neutralisation and purification of secondary gaseous and liquid wastes. The new SIA “Radon” approach was developed to resolve this problem directly during primary incineration or in the thermo-chemical treatment process. Such an approach would minimise the production of secondary waste and would use a simple gas purification system, even for the treatment of organic and biological waste.
