Fly ash has been widely recognized as the hazardous waste due to its toxicity to
environment. It should be treated properly for preventing the high contamination to the …

The aim of our studies was to use a thermal plasma treatment process to transform the
hospital incineration fly ash into the glassy products called vitrificates that can be stored on …

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 …

Aims The thermal plasma treatment is an effective method which can be used to convert
hazardous waste into less toxic or inert glassy products. The aim of this paper is to show the …

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 …

By-product of a municipal waste incineration is the incinerator or MSW (municipal solid
waste) fly ash. It is toxic. It contains highly concentrated level of unwanted metals, their …

The characteristics of a novel atmospheric plasma source generated by a dc double-anode
plasma torch have been investigated by measuring its emission spectra and heat flux. The …

Plasma gasification/vitrification is an innovative and environmentally friendly method of
waste treatment. A demonstration plasma gasification/vitrification unit was developed and …

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 …

Municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (FA) contains high contents of salts and high
concentrations of heavy metals, which makes FA disposal extremely difficult. However …
