The most frustrating problem with plasma gasification from my perspective is that it essentially down cycles metals. That is, the metals either end up in slag or as a difficult-to-refine mixture.

That was my understanding the last time I worked on this. I would love to hear about any progress on this.

For what it’s worth, I think the companies that have tried this have not pursued the correct business model. They all either want to sell their system (bad idea) or sell syngas (ok, but not enough). What they need to do is charge tipping fees like a landfill to simply dispose of the trash.
