Hazardous waste treatment method and apparatus are disclosed in the preferred and illustrated emboldiment. A feedstock of hazardous waste material is combusted in a plasma generator in the absence of oxygen and converted into a gaseous outflow which is collected in a reactor chamber. The gaseous outflow is cooled and separated into selected constituents which are collected in storage vessels.

A method of converting hazardous waste material into useful by-products, comprising the steps of: (a) introducing the waste material into a plasma arc generated by a plasma gun and converting the waste material into a gaseous outflow; (b) collecting said gaseous outflow in a reactor chamber in the absence of oxygen for preventing the recombination of said gaseous outflow with oxygen; (c) directing said gaseous outflow through cooling apparatus for reducing the temperature of said gaseous outflow; (d) passing said gaseous outflow through molecular sieve apparatus permitting selected constituents of said gaseous outflow to pass through said molecular sieve apparatus; and (e) collecting said selected constituents in storage vessels.
