The valorisation of vitrified wastes

According to the definition given by Larousse, this application consists in the use of wastes as row materials.

According to the law:

  • The valorisation has to be applied at the maximum in the present economical and technical conditions
  • The final wastes have to be solidified/stabilized before their admission in class 1 dumps.

Other possibilities are available:

  • flagstone manufacturing
  • use as abrasive
  • making of jewellery and other objets d`art.

In most cases these two means are not related: a final processed waste remains potentially toxic and has to be stocked rigorously.

In the vitrification case an alternative is possible when a safety scientific proof is made.

One of the main application is the road embankment (the incineration option of french household wastes and the vitrification of the fly ashes would allow the construction of 20 km highway per year...)
