waste injection 9 for all processes described herein may be waste in solid liquid gas or slurry form the secondary fluid also includes a carrier gas 99 that is mixed with the waste injection 9 and into the plasma formed from the primary fluid 8 the carrier gas 9 a can be an inert gas a hydrocarbon steam or co 2 the primary fluid 8 will develop an extremely high temperature in the electric arc this temperature may be approximately 5500 u00b0 c or higher at such a temperature the fluid will crack into the elemental components the waste injection 9 with carrier gas 9 a will mix with the heated primary fluid 8 increasing in temperature the temperature of the mix will depend on the flow rate ratios and physical properties of the fluids the system will be designed to obtain a temperature of the mixed fluids required by the process this temperature will be selected based on the properties of the material used as electrodes and the nature of the waste given the high temperature at which these fluids will be exposed the dissociation of the compounds will occur at a very high reaction rate this method will allow the operation of the heating chamber 20 and a mixing chamber 12 at pressures ranging from vacuum to several hundreds of psi limited only by the pressure vessel that contains the components when the pressure is increased the conductivity of the gas in the electric arc will increase and the length of the arc will increase accordingly the.
