A device for the destruction of biohazardous waste converts harmful waste products into environmentally friendly discharge in compliance with environmental protection agency (EPA) standards. The device includes a waste disposal chamber where a crucible resides. The crucible contains a basket for holding the waste which is heated through induction coils that surround the crucible. The waste is vaporized and ionized in a vacuum forming a waste gas and drawn through a catalytic converter and a hot plasma jet via vacuum suction. The waste gas is then exhausted via a discharge duct where is it condensed by a heat exchanger further refining the waste gas into environmentally friendly molecules such as carbon dioxide. The waste destruction device further includes a programmable logic controller and user interface to control the device. Once the waste destruction process is completed, a compressor passes compressed air over the crucible to rapidly cool the crucible.

The present invention relates to a system for the production of carbon nanotubes from carbonaceous matter, preferably, plastic waste and solar energy; Method of production.

A separating fluid, method and use for separating multilayer systems, especially photovoltaic modules, for the purpose of recycling, which allow the separation of multilayer systems. Especially photovoltaic modules, in comparatively simple manner in terms of the processes used, in as environmentally friendly a manner as possible, at high recycling rates. For this purpose, the separating fluid is a nanoscale dispersion or a precursor thereof.

Silicon slags, which is a by-product of metallic silicon mill during producing metallurgical grade silicon, solar cell grade silicon and Ferro-silicon alloy. are processed according to the invention to small lumps and briquettes, being excellent deoxidizer for cast iron and steel in order to avoid either costly regeneration for the recovering of the valuable components or the total dumping of said silicon slags. The cost of iron and steelmaking can be reduced significantly. As an additional advantage, the particles of silicon slag in molten steel can absorb the tiny oxides from the deoxidizing reaction and purify the molten steel more quickly.
