Inertization By Vitrification Of Mixtures Of Municipal Waste Incineration Slag & Ash & Valorisation Of The Obtained Glass Product

The high cost of landfilling municipal waste incineration slag & ash makes the inertization process by vitrification of these materials economically viable. A chemically stable glass can be obtained by melting these two waste materials after deferrization & grinding, starting from a mixture of 60wt% ash & 40wt% slag (maximum limit for ash content). An increase of the slag content improves the melting behaviour markedly. The obtained glass has a composition similar to a calcium oxide enriched basalt & can be used to produce insulating building materials similar to foam glass & expanded clay.
