Patent ID: 7981371

Claim:
A process of thermal destruction of a product which is an organic product or an halogenated organic product, the process comprising: a) mixing the product with water, thereby obtaining a mixture, wherein quantities of water being chosen such as to ensure: that at least stoichiometric ratios between carbon and oxygen atoms in the mixture are obtained when the product is an organic product, or that at least the stoichiometric ratios for carbon and oxygen atoms in the mixture are obtained and that at least stoichiometric ratios for hydrogen and halogen atoms in the mixture are obtained when the product is a halogenated organic product, b) introducing the mixture obtained in a) into a coil of an inductively coupled plasma torch together with plasmagenic gases, thereby producing gases resulting from a decomposition of said mixture obtained in a) into atomic elements, c) submitting the gases produced in b) to a first thermal destruction operation, wherein the first destruction operation takes place in a reaction chamber, d) submitting the gases produced in c) to a second thermal destruction operation, wherein the second destruction operation takes place in a stirring device in which no energy is added, and in which stirring is performed with air or oxygen, e) cooling the gases emerging from the stirring device, thereby obtaining a recombination of at least a part of said gases emerging from the stirring device, and f) discharging the cooled gases obtained in e).
