Investigation of High-Temperature Steam-Air Reagents for Plasma Waste Treatment Processes

Thermodynamic, thermal, and ecological features of high-temperature steam-air reagents in plasma processing of waste have been considered. The possibility of the formation of extra-equilibrium concentrations of nitrogen oxides when using these reagents has been shown. Derived from the study of equilibrium compositions, approximation dependences of the bulk temperature of various steam-air mixtures on necessary specific energy consumptions on their heating at various mass concentrations of water vapor and various temperatures of the steam supplied to the reactor have been suggested.
