High power accelerators and processing systems for environmental application

Radiation processing can be successfully applied to treat gas, liquid and solid phase of matter to solve specific problems related to environment protection. The most important reasons why the high power accelerators may be used for the purification purpose are: ability to transfer large amount of energy into irradiated object and the biocide properties of beam of accelerated electrons. Appropriate accelerator and under beam equipment selection should be performed to meet all technical and economical conditions for successful process implementation. The optimization of geometry of irradiation unit, energy of accelerated electrons and other process and equipment parameters should be performed to minimize beam power losses and increase process effectiveness what may create suitable conditions for radiation technology application in the field of environment protection.
