ANALYSIS AND SIMULATION OF THE PROCESS OF MEDICOBIOLOGICAL WASTE TREATMENT IN A PLASMA CHAMBER INCINERATOR
A. L. Mossé and V. V. Savchin UDC 261.039.7:533 Analysis of the composition and the degree of toxicity of medicobiological wastes has been performed with the use of the results of investigations made in different countries. It has been shown that such wastes are highly hazardous to ecology and a universal technology of their management is needed. We have developed and tested a plasma chamber incinerator for plasmothermal treatment of medicobiological waste. To optimize the operating conditions of the facility and prevent chemical and thermal pollution of the environment, we have constructed a model of thermal calculation of the plasma chamber incinerator.
