ABSTRACT
The aim of this paper is to show possibilities for effective processing of hazardous waste using the vitrification
method, which is recommended for disposing of ash from the combustion of sewage sludge and
developing a process for the conversion of waste to a sustainable and environmentally safe product. The use
of vitrification solves the problem of utilizing some hazardous waste by simultaneously reducing or eliminating
their harmful effects and decreasing their volume. More and more research has been undertaken to determine
specific properties of the resulting products (vitrified waste), in particular regarding the sustainability to
ensure safe storage or in specific commercial applications. We describe the methods of processing of ash from
combustion of sewage sludge to obtain “vitrified aggregates” as well “glass beads” that are useful substitutes
for commonly used products.
