International audienceWaste management is one of the major global environmental issues. Incineration is an efficient treatment since it offers both a reduction of mass and volume and a possibility of energy recovery. One of the problems of incineration is the production of fly ash which is considered as hazardous waste with obligation of final disposal into a specific landfill.The objective of the present study is to investigate glass ceramics and sintered ceramics as new mineral materials for a sustainable immobilization and possible recycling of these incineration wastes. Toxic elements can be incorporated into crystals embedded in a glass matrix which has a function of the second barrier, or in highly resistant crystalline structure in a sintered ceramic. Based upon cations size considerations, this study is focused on Ca-rich or Ba-bearing minerals as possible hosts of lead and cadmium.Promising results have been obtained for CaMgSi2O6 diopside-bearing glass ceramics and sintered Ba1.5Mg1.5Ti6.5O16 hollandite, both in terms of toxic elements incorporation and of chemical resistance
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
