Abstract
Toxic and dangerous types of waste materials including chemical weapons need to be inertized prior to their final disposal. This can be done by dispersion and encapsulation or solidification of the total waste stream in inert matrices like cement. A different strategy is the separation of critical ingredients by adsorption on adequate substrates like carbon or by absorption in suitable liquids. The most efficient strategy, however, is the complete destruction of all toxic compounds. For inorganic species this requires a respeciation into compounds of acceptable properties. For organic compounds the best strategy in this respect is the total oxidation into carbon dioxide, CO2, and water, H2O. This goal may be reached in different ways depending on the methods chosen for destruction. The physical and chemical parameters as well as the temperature of the applied processes can vary in wide ranges.
