Discussion on Hazardous Waste Plasma Disposal Technology in Macao Region
In recent years,the amount of hazardous wastes received in the Macao region has been on the rise,yet the treatment capacity of the relevant treatment stations has gradually become saturated.Therefore,there is an urgent need to expand facilities or adopt new technologies to treat these hazardous wastes.The focus of this paper is to analyse the impacts of traditional incineration technologies on the environment of Macao,including the bottom ash and fly ash produced by incineration.The principles and advantages of thermal plasma technology for the treatment of hazardous wastes are also presented.This method can achieve the reduction,harmlessness and resourcefulness of hazardous waste treatment,showing good prospects for industrial applications.This technology is of great significance for a populous but geographically small region such as Macao.
