waste gasification processes based on thermal plasma (DC or AC plasma torches) at lab scale versus typical performances of waste autothermal gasification: LHV of the syngas, cold gas efficiency and net electrical efficiency. In the last part, a review has been done on the various torch technologies used for waste gasification by plasma at industrial scale, the major companies on this market and the perspectives of the industrial development of the waste gasification by thermal plasma. The main conclusions are that plasma technology is considered as a highly attractive route for the processing of waste-to-energy and can be easily adapted to the treatment of various wastes (municipal solid wastes, heavy oil, used car tires, medical wastes …). The high enthalpy, the residence time and high temperature in plasma can advantageously improve the conditions for gasification, which are inaccessible in other thermal processes and can allow reaching, due to low tar content in the syngas, better net electrical efficiency than autothermal processes.

“…Applications of DC argon plasma for halogenated hydrocarbon decomposition have been operated with injection of oxidizing gas such as steam and oxygen to the plasma jet [11][12][13][14][15]. A 150-kW plant for decomposition of Australian's stockpile of halons has been opened in Melbourne.…”

“…Waste decomposition using thermal plasmas has been reported for various kinds of wastes, such as halogenated hydrocarbon [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23], polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) [24,25], hydrocarbon [26][27][28], polymer [29][30][31], organic waste [28,[32][33][34][35][36][37], used tires [38][39][40], and medical waste [41,42]. Waste materials can be efficiently degraded by thermal plasmas under reducing or oxidizing conditions.…”

“…There is also an established and commercially employed technology, branded as PLASCON TM [11][12][13], jointly developed by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australia and SRL Plasma Ltd., Australia, which is capable of destroying fluorocarbons including HFC-134a. PLASCON TM generates an argon plasma jet employing a DC plasma torch where the temperature elevates over 27,000 K. The introduced fluorocarbon is then converted to CO 2 and halogen gases and/or hydrogen halide gases depending on the addition of oxidising agent (oxygen and/or steam).…”

This is a PDF file of an unedited manuscript that has been accepted for publication. As a service to our customers we are providing this early version of the manuscript. The manuscript will undergo copyediting, typesetting, and review of the resulting proof before it is published in its final form. Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain. . The effect of methane addition on the electrical discharge and the reaction pathways are discussed. Highlights:• Treatment of HFC-134a with methane in a non-equilibrium plasma is investigated.• The reaction mechanism includes experimental data and quantum chemical analyses.• The targeted products from the treatment of HFC-134a are fluoropolymers.* email: eric.kennedy@newcastle.edu.au, phone: +61 2 4985-4422, fax: +61 2 4921-6893 2• NMR and FTIR spectroscopic analyses reveal that the polymers are random copolymers.
