The possibility of using a multijet electric-arc plasma-chemical 
reactor for decontamination and destruction of different powder pesticides 
with an expired effective date and storage life which have not been 
used in agriculture is studied. Studies of heat transfer are conducted 
on a setup operating without processing of raw material and with supply 
of pesticides (isophen and butyl ester of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic 
acid) to the reactor. The composition of waste gases at the reactor 
outlet is studied.
