The optimized processes was designed based on a pilot reactor for effective separation of POPs and futher destruction of solid waste containing highly chlorinated POPs. The developed technology was tested and evaluated from the point of its performance, capabilities and efficiency. The technology has a proven safety of the output material for human health and environmental hazards. The project also focus on an effective genotoxicity testing of the input and output material related to the reactor as well as model samples of contaminated environments. The tested feedstocks preferably cover a broad spectrum of solids with a varying content of POPs. Since possible chlorine presence, chemically resistant materials will be applied such as Hastelloy™ in order to withstand the gas impact at temperatures over 100 °C.
