Plasma gasification is an environment-friendly waste disposal method. It is used to convert commodity recyclables extracted from the municipal solid waste in the landfill into energy. The carbon-based materials are exposed to high temperatures and converted to syngas, a gas which can either be directly combusted or further refined into chemicals and higher-grade fuels. The non-organic part of the waste is converted to slag – cooled, tightly bound solid waste which can be used in construction as a raw material. Industries that strive to achieve zero waste prefer this waste disposal method.
