Plasma energy recycle and conversion (PERC) reactor and process for disposal of energetics such as solid rocket propellants, liquid rocket fuel, chemical agents such as nerve gas, industrial waste such as paint sludge, medical waste or any aqueous/organic liquid or slurry that is pumpable and for separation/consolidation/conversion of low-level radioactive waste or mixed waste incorporating an induction coupled plasma heat source, insulated primary and secondary reaction chambers and associated peripheral control, process and filter devices.

[ We claim:] [3.] A method of the plasma energy recycle and conversion (PERC) reactor system for heating an atomized liquid, gas or slurry stream of waste to a high enough temperature for decomposition into an off gas plus a small amount of particulate comprising the steps of:a. producing a plasma with argon gas in a plasma torch;b. atomizing a stream of waste using argon gas into a primary reactor chamber that contains said plasma;c. decomposing said stream of waste into an off gas plus particulate;d. mixing the contents of the primary reactor chamber;e. allow passage of said off gas through a restriction orifice out of said primary reactor chamber; and,f. passing said off gas from said primary reactor into a secondary plug flow reactor for further decomposition.
