Analysis of a Plasma Melting System for Incinerated Ash
E-mail:
Changes in lifestyle are leading to societies that use goods that are becoming in creasingly more disposable. This situation is accentuated by a steady increase in world population that has led to a drastic rise in the production of waste. Hazardous waste is also increased by industrialization. Despite the increasing amounts of waste, especially fly ash, plastics and VOC are often not properly treated. Solidification/stabilization is a safe treatment technology for hazardous waste, but, there is only a limited landfill area. The objective of this study was to develop a melting treatment technology and facility for incinerating ash in a plasma melting system. Hazardous gases and heavy metlas in ash can be non-toxic when treated in a plasma system, and the melting chloride and dioxin can be destroyed easily.
