To treat incinerated ash is an important issue in Taiwan. Incinerated ashes contain a
considerable amount of hazardous materials such as dioxins and heavy metals. If these …

Incineration is a major treatment process for municipal solid waste in Taiwan. It is estimated
that over 1.5 Mt of incinerator ash are produced annually. This study proposes using thermal …

In this study, glassy slag was produced by melting fly ash samples without any additives in a
thermal plasma reactor, the core of which was a DC double anode plasma torch. After …

Several fly ash samples collected from different municipal solid waste incinerator plants
were vitrified using thermal plasma furnace at 1400–1500° C. After vitrification, there are …

Thermal plasma treatment has been considered as one of promising methods for fly ash
disposal. In this study, firstly, the characteristics of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) …

Municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) fly ash with high basicity (about 1.68) was vitrified
in a thermal plasma melting furnace system. Through the thermal plasma treatment, the …

Due to the toxicity of dioxins, furans and heavy metals, there is a growing environmental
concern on municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) fly ash in China. The purpose of this …

The results of vitrification of partially toxic ashes mixed with the power plant fly ash are
presented and discussed.. The vitrification process was done with the use of plasma torch …

Fly ash from municipal solid waste incineration is considered as a hazardous waste, which
would raise great threats on environmental safety due to the inherent toxic heavy metals and …

The application of thermal plasma to waste treatment may be a possible method for treating
various kinds of hazardous waste through volume reduction and detoxification. The vitrified …
