Development of plasma technology for wasteManagement in India

An enormous amount of municipal solid waste is produced by per person daily in India. Due to the rapid growth of human population these wastes are also increasing day by day and creating pollution in the environment. These wastes may vary from organic, inorganic or both in nature and releases toxic gases like dioxins, furans, mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls etc. The thermal plasma technology is one of the efforts which can be used for the treatment of municipal solid waste and helps in the production of syngas in an ecofriendly manner. In this way the plasma technology can also help in lowering down the emission of greenhouse gases from the environment and make it a safe place for living.
