Waste gasification process
Thermal treatment of waste - Thermochemical processes

If now, when a waste is heated, the treatment atmosphere is lacking in air, but enriched with water vapor and/or carbon dioxide (reactants), the volatile materials emitted will not undergo a combustion process and the fixed carbon will start to react with water vapor and CO ₂ at temperatures of 850-900°C, in endo/exothermic thermochemical transformation reactions, known as gasification [9][13] , of the type : $\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{C}+{\text{H}}_2\text{O}\rightleftarrows \text{CO}+{\text{H}}_2\\ \text{}\end{array}\end{array}\begin{array}{c}\end{array}$
