With its enormous social and economical development, China is now experiencing a rapid
increase in solid wastes generation and growing pressure for solid wastes management …

Simulation of municipal solid waste (MSW) gasification with air in two different types of fixed
bed reactors has been carried out by using Aspen plus. One type of the fixed bed reactors is …

Conventional thermal plasma technology used in the treatment of solid waste has a high
demand for power and a high rate of heat loss during solid waste treatment. We developed a …

Medical waste incinerator (MWI) fly ash is regarded as a highly toxic waste because it
contains high concentrations of heavy metals and dioxins, including polychlorinated dibenzo …

This study investigated the effect of NaOH on the vitrification of electroplating sludge. Ni, the
major metal in the electroplating sludge, is the target for recovery in the vitrification. Sludge …

PCDD/Fs in fly ash from municipal solid waste incinerators (MSWIs) can be decomposed in
non-thermal plasma, more in particular in a vortex-shaped gliding arc. Typical operating …

In the frame of studies devoted to hazardous waste destruction, a specially designed plasma
torch with a doubleanode configuration has been developed and tested. It produces an …

Thermal plasma melting is an efficient but energy intensive method for vitrifying municipal
solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash. To reduce the energy cost and vitrification …
