Mining Industry Waste Remediated for Recycle by Vitrification: A Case Study

OSTI ID:9180
Raw materials taken from the earth to produce a wide variety of products and processes must be disposed of safely back into the earth once declared a waste. The only other option is remediation for recycle into new products or new end uses. Technologies have been developed by the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Westinghouse Savannah River Technology Center (SRTC) to convert a wide variety of hazardous (and/or radioactive) wastes to a solid stabilized glass via the process of vitrification. This vitrification technology can render hazardous wastes to be non-hazardous and/or convert non-hazardous sludges, asbestos, etc. into recyclable products or reusable raw materials.
