Abstract: The author has developed and patented a high temperature smelting unit with sodium coolant for thermal treatment of hazardous waste. In the article, the unit’s test results have been given with respect to different waste types, including radioactive and municipal solid wastes. The authors have established that all types of waste can be treated in the developed unit, being converted into electricity and gas (can be emitted into atmosphere after appropriate treatment), or into slag that fixes heavy metals in the crystal lattice of oxides and makes them insoluble.
Keywords: Sodium Cooling, Thermal Treatment of Hazardous Waste, Municipal Solid Waste, Radioactive Waste.
Scope of the Article: Security Technology and Information Assurance
