Plasma gasification represents a cutting-edge approach to the thermochemical conversion of solid wastes into valuable energy carriers and inert by-products. By exposing feedstocks—ranging from ...

Plasma gasification converts carbon-containing materials - such as coal, petroleum coke and municipal solid waste or biomass - into a synthesis gas (syngas) composed primarily of carbon monoxide and ...

Plasma, considered the fourth state of matter, is a staple of science education as well as research. It is essentially superheated or ionized matter in which the electrons are torn away from an atom, ...

Food waste is a growing problem in Canada and many other parts of the world — and it is only expected to get worse in the coming years. The world population is expected to grow to 9.7 billion by 2050, ...
