Because chemical reactions are usually associated with the rearrangement of charged particles such as electrons and atomic nuclei, chemical and electrical phenomena are closely linked. Chemical transformation occurring owing to the external applied electrical current or leading to generation of electrical current is studied in electrochemistry.

Electrochemical water treatment is related to the physicalechemical water treatment methods. Electrochemical treatment is characterized by multistage and relative complexity of physical and chemical phenomena occurring in electrochemical reactors (electrolyzers). The mechanism and rate of occurrence of the individual reaction steps are dependent on many factors, which have to be identified to determine the optimal reactor design and conditions for its operation.

A plasma gasification melting (PGM) technology has been developed to transform waste into synthesis gas and products suitable for construction materials. The core of the technology was developed at the Kurchatov Institute in Russia and has been used for more than a decade for the treatment of low and intermediate level radioactive waste in Russia. It is applicable to municipal solid waste (MSW), municipal effluent sludge, industrial waste and medical waste

Plasma technologies offer unique solutions to meet the increasing demands of dematerialization to develop ecologically sensible industrial practices like high temperatures, high chemical reactivity, high energy density and ability to process solids, liquids and gases.

Plasma gasification technology is an advanced waste treatment technology in the world due to the thorough thermal separation of gas-mixed molecules into simple molecules at a temperature above 2000oC of Plasma and almost no generate toxic gases like Dioxin and Furan.

Israel is at the forefront of developing the latest technologies to solve the problem of waste treatment. Using an environment-friendly domestic waste treatment method, a complex of this type, located not far from Karmiel city, is called a technological breakthrough.
