Abstract :
Electric discharges can be used for the synthesis or destruction of chemical compounds. Potential advantages include higher temperature and energy densities than combustion processes, alternative chemical routes and greater conversion efficiencies where selective chemical transitions can be carried out. The application of this technique to waste destruction methods is described by the author
