Abstract
The invention is directed to an apparatus made of atmospheric-pressure microwave plasma torches for elimination of toxic airborne chemical and biological warfare agents. The apparatus can purify the interior air of large volume in an isolated space such as buildings, public transportation systems, and military vehicles contaminated with chemical and biological warfare agents. The apparatus consists of several microwave plasma torches connected in series for elimination and burnout of toxic airborne warfare agents. Microwave radiation generates an atmospheric plasma torch in certain conditions. Oxidation mechanism in the torch flames eliminates the chemical and biological warfare agents.
