Zusammenfassung:An apparatus and method for reducing hazardous gases exhausted from a process chamber 25 includes an effluent plasma reactor 210 and optionally a downstream catalytic reactor 220. The reactor 210 may include a consumable liner that reacts with the energized effluent to remove the hazardous gases. The catalytic reactor 220 may also include catalytic surfaces 227 in a honeycomb, foam, or pellet structure 225 to catalyze reactions that further reduce hazardous gas content.
