Neutralization of Hazardous Waste in Vitreous Mass of Glass

Abstract

The paper presents studies concerning the neutralization of hazardous waste containing metal ions by embedding them in vitreous matrix which are chemically stable materials. The main analysed factors are: chemical composition of the charge based on packaging glass waste, amount influence of waste added in the charge on the physical-mechanical properties of analysed materials, the structure and the capacity for inclusion of metallic oxides from hazardous waste, the thermal treatment of vitreous or vitreous-ceramic materials.
