Development of the asbestos detoxication technology using overheated steam

Abstract

The detoxication processing experiment of the building materials which contain asbestos using overheated steam was conducted.The result has checked that it had been detoxicated also by the method using a phase microscope, or the method using X ray,when the building materials which contain asbestos 5% were processed under 900-degree C overheated steam atmosphere for 30 minutes.If this technology is used, the building materials containing asbestos will become the materials of cement.
