Plasma Technologies as the Basis for the Development of Russian Waste Processing

Abstract

The article considers the current topic - justification of the possibility of organizing a system for recycling solid domestic and other waste based on plasma technologies and the subsequent use of secondary raw materials based on them. The current state of production sector of collection and disposal of solid domestic and other waste abroad and in Russia was analyzed. There are proposed a scheme of organization of solid domestic and other waste disposal system based on plasma technologies, operable at the under construction enterprise for processing of these wastes. The economic feasibility of this enterprise is justified. It was concluded that although the use of plasma technologies is most beneficial in the energy sector, when introducing plasma plants and creating solid waste disposal plants using these plants, taking into account the financial benefits in obtaining the raw materials and energy generated by them is not the main task, but an additional economic effect. The main thing is to reduce the negative impact of solid municipal waste on the environment and people.

Minimization of radioactive waste volume from nuclear power plants using precipitation-membrane technologies

“…In this regard, we note that reverse osmosis concentration systems show good results in the processing of liquid radioactive medium with low (<5 g/dm 3 ) salt content [17]. However, if there is a sufficient amount of thermal energy (for example, exhaust gases from diesel generator sets or pyrolysis plants [18,19]), it is preferable to use evaporation, which is less sensitive to this indicator, to concentrate solutions.…”
