Abstract
Characteristics of plasma melting furnace operation is discussed from a viewpoint of various kinds of ashes from different incinerator systems, namely grating-type incinerator and fluidized-bed incinerator. Ash chemical composition, slagging ratio and dioxins content data in three newly built plasma melting furnaces. These data show that the plasma melting furnaces can treat ashes both types of incinerators, and dioxins emission per one ton of municipal solid waste (MSW) treatment is almost the same for both types of incinerators together with plasma melting furnace.
