Abstract
Arc discharges can be used as a source of high temperature and energy density in the destruction of waste and toxic materials. Glow or corona discharges can also be used for this purpose and provide alternative chemical routes, greater conversion efficiencies and selective chemical transitions. This article outlines some of these processes, which were discussed at an IEE Colloquium in November 1992
