An apparatus and method of use for dissociating materials includes a power supply, high energy capacitor, high energy trigger device and an probe and reactor arrangement for treating both solid and medium/media materials. A near instantaneous discharge of the electrical charge stored in the capacitor via the probe can be used to dissociate the material, either medium/media or solid, for a desired result. Hazardous materials can be treated to be rendered non-hazardous, rocks or other solid material can be treated for reduction in size, plant seeds can be treated to enhance plant growth surfaces of granular material can be scored or thermally polished and milk, juices and blood could be treated for sterilization.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A method of dissociating a material in a media comprising the steps of:a) providing a solid material to be dissociated;b) providing a medium/media-containing reactor with the material therein;c) subjecting said material to at least one cycle of a release of an electrical charge in a time span on an order of a nanosecond to impact a cycle shock front to the material for dissociation whereby the dissociation causes one of vaporization of the solid material, disintegration of the solid material and a smoothing of the surface of the solid material; andd) recovering at least one of said medium/media and at least one dissociated product from said subjecting step.
