Abstract:This paper reports the results of a study of the feasibility of recycling the solid residues from domiciliary waste incineration by producing a glass-ceramic. The major components of the raw material (TIRME F+L), which was from a Spanish domiciliary incinerator, were CaO, SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 but nucleating agents, such as TiO 2 , P 2 O 5 , and Fe 2 O 3 were also present in reasonable amounts. It was found that a relatively stable glass with suitable viscosity could be obtained by mixing 65 wt% TIRME F+L with 35… Show more
“…As expected, a linear relationship was obtained. The value of E act determined from the slope of this line was 291 kJ/mol, which is lower than the value reported for glasses obtained from urban incineration ashes (379 kJ/mol) in which surface crystallisation also plays a major role in the glass devitrification 21 . This result suggests that PG glass would be easier to crystallise than urban incineration glass perhaps owing to its chemical composition with a great content in Fe 2 O 3 and TiO 2 , which are well established as nucleating agents for crystallisation 11 .…”

“…Glass-ceramics prepared by controlled devitrification of different inorganic wastes such as coal fly ashes, hydrometallurgical wastes or fly ashes from domiciliary solid waste incineration have been widely investigated [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] . However, to our knowledge, the processing of glass-ceramics by crystallisation of wastes from hospital fly ashes treated by Arc Plasma Technology (APT) has not been explored.…”
The feasibility to crystallise a glass prepared by thermal plasma vitrification of hospital wastes to produce a glass-ceramic suitable to be used as a construction material was investigated by using differential thermal analysis (DTA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Two crystallisation exotherms in DTA were attributed to the formation of wollastonite and a crystalline phase belonging to the melilite group (gehlenite or akermanite). DTA tests have shown that the glass is not suitable for bulk crystallisation and must be converted into a glass-ceramic by using the sintering process route through a single crystallisation step at 1000 •C for 10 min.
