Field of this Patent: - Treatment of liquid effluents of any kind with submerged plasma. - Submerged plasma treatment of the gaseous or solid residues, of any kind, whether metallic or not, dissolved or suspended in liquids. The great innovative advance to the State of the Art brought about by the object of this Patent is the development of a system which is capable of promoting the generation and maintenance of a submerged plasma state in the liquids to be treated and of being in a direct contact with them, where the setting itself is part of the process, thus making up an innovative technology capable of treating every and any residue, without any exceptions, which are presented in the liquid form, not necessarily in aqueous settings, whether in solution or suspended, aqueous or not, and the treatment is made in one single operation, without the need of adding auxiliary chemical products and without releasing gases into the atmosphere, safely, economically and completely adequate and even overtaking the legal parameters of the several terms of the current legislations of environmental protection. The pieces of equipment that form the "SYSTEM AND DEVICES FOR THE TREATMENT OF LIQUID EFFLUENTS WITH SUBMERGED PLASMA" are basically consisted of 3 components: 1. First component - AC/DC power supply, with tension and current control devices; 2. Second component - group of generators of electromagnetic radiations, consisted of microwaves and radio frequency generators with varied potencies and frequencies, as well as, optionally, laser beam and electron cannon generators; 3. Third component - specific reactor, as described in Figure 1. |
