Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a plasma torch with a structure capable of performing reversed polarity/straight polarity operation, wherein the plasma torch is coupled to a melter and melts a waste material such as radioactive waste or industrial waste by generating and sustaining a plasma arc between electrodes, the plasma torch including: a rear electrode provided inside a torch pipe and electrically connected to become one of an anode and a cathode; and a front electrode provided at a front end of the torch pipe at a position adjacent to a front end of the rear electrode and electrically connected to become a remaining one of the anode and the cathode, wherein electrical connections of the rear and front electrodes are switchable with each other so that the plasma torch operates as a reversed polarity plasma torch or a straight polarity plasma torch.
