Inertization and reuse of waste materials by vitrification and fabrication of glass-based products

Vitrification is widely accepted as the most safe process for treating hazardous wastes and converting them into leach-resistant materials. In this paper a review of the current and emerging waste vitrification technologies is reported. Analysis of different methods of vitrification, according to physical state and composition of the waste, can offer a guideline for process selection. Moreover, the most recent studies on vitrification of various...
