Abstract:
Apparatus for detoxifying hazardous substances comprising:airtight incineration means tolerant of high reaction temperatures and pressures for containing said hazardous substances during incineration; high frequency magnetic field coil means positioned within said incineration means for inducing incineration of said hazardous substances such that an application of power to said high frequency magnetic coil means induces incineration of said hazardous substances to produce ash and a gas; temperature control means within said incineration means for maintaining the temperature within said incineration means between about 454 and 500Â° C.; tunnel filter means leading from said incineration means for initial removal of hazardous substances from said gas; exhaust means for exhausting gas from said incineration means into said tunnel filter means when the temperature in said incineration means is approximately 500Â° C.; gas treatment means connected to the end of said tunnel filter means for secondary removal of hazardous substances from said gas; exhaust cooling means connected to said gas treatment means for final removal of hazardous substances from said gas; input means for introducing said hazardous substances to said incineration means; and outlet means for removing said ash from said incineration means.
