Experience In Operation Of A Pilot Plant Melting Residual Substances

A pilot plant to melt residual substances was operated over a period of more than four months. To examine any extreme situations, residues from incineration plants were used. The results obtained from these trials are very positive and encouraging for use in industrial applications. It has been achieved that the glass represents a satisfactory and long-term stable sink for major heavy metals, and another sink has been provided for other heavy metals through arrestment in a filter system.
