Abstract
Incineration Residue Melting Treatment Technology aims to loop resource recycling through minimizing landfills by decomposing toxic substances through a high-temperature treatment at 1,300 degrees Celsius, promoting more efficient use of slag, and collecting metals from fly ash. A major challenge for the melting treatment technology is the reduction in fuel costs to achieve a running cost reduction.
An efficient use of waste plastic, which prioritizes material recycling, has been promoted. It is essential from both perspectives from using landfills longer and reducing the use of fossil fuels to utilize energy of the waste plastic unsuitable for material recycling.
Combustible Mixture Melting Treatment Technology is to realize the melting treatment of incineration residue etc. by use of waste plastic etc. as an energy source. This technology is expected to solve above-mentioned problems of waste plastic and incineration residue at the same time.
In this report, we explain the results of the melting treatment experiment at a commercial plant, which confirmed self-sustained combusted melting, the condition where no fossil fuels but only waste plastic are used. We report about fuel consumption reduction effect and distribution rate of various elements in the process.
