The authors report the basic technological principles and the special 
features of a method of combined plasma-thermal processing and 
incineration of harmful wastes in a shaft incinerator under a layer of 
the charge of such a well-filtering and well-combustible material as 
wood sawdust, which absorbs up to 99% of the aerosols of waste gases 
by fixing and concentrating them in the ash. A calculated-analytical 
estimate of the filtration properties of wood sawdust is obtained 
as a function of its dispersity, the thickness of the charge layer, 
and the filtration rate of the waste gases. Determination is made 
of the optimum design relations and the parameters of charging of 
a filtering material under different conditions of processing of wastes, 
including moistening and impregnation of wood sawdust by an aqueous 
solution of sorbents to absorb harmful metals. The calculated results 
are compared and demonstrate consistency with the data on the filtration 
properties of wood sawdust in other technologies, including thermal 
processing of radioactive wastes in a similar shaft incinerator.
