Melting solidification experiments of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash were carried out in a high-temperature tube furnace device. An ash fusion temperature (AFT) test, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were applied in order to gain insight into the ash fusibility, the transformation during the melting process, and the leaching behavior of heavy metals in slag. The results showed that oxide minerals transformed into gehlenite as temperature increased. When the temperature increased to 1300 °C, 89 °C higher than the flow temperature (FT), all of the crystals transformed into molten slag. When the heating temperatures were higher than the FT, the volatilization of the Pb, Cd, Zn, and Cu decreased, which may have been influenced by the formation of liquid slag. In addition, the formation of liquid slag at a high temperature also improved the stability of heavy metals in heated slag.

Incineration is a Thermal Treatment Technology (3Ts) that could be expressed as the way to get rid of waste effectively with the reduction of its mass and volume. However, to control the combustion process efficiently, especially combustion temperature, with low energy content in Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), an additional fuel is needed and leads to increase of operating cost compared with other disposal option. High Temperature Air Combustion (HTAC) has been successfully demonstrated in a lab-scale incinerator for energy saving and pollutant reduction, especially NOx. This article has the objective to design and manufacture the prototype scale High Temperature Air Incinerator with a capacity to treat MSW of 12 Ton per day. The system consists of an automatic feeding machine to feed the waste into the primary combustion chamber (PCC) where the combustion takes place. The push ram is used to push the burning waste and fall down to the lower hearth. Primary combustion air is supplied into PCC at the amount lower than the stoichiometric requirement to produce the combustible gas which is flown into the Secondary Combustion Chamber (SCC) located above PCC. Secondary combustion air is injected to react with combustible gas to convert to the product of complete combustion. A part of hot flue gas which is flew out from SCC is reverted and mixed with fresh air, in order to reduce oxygen concentration, before passing through the heat exchanger tube bundle which is placed inside SCC in order to exchange heat with hot flue gas. To manufacture the designed incinerator, the detail of materials used as well as the frabication method is explained. It has been shown that HTAC can be applied for thermal destruction of waste successfully, in term of energy saving and pollutant free. Benefits of this research work will promote the using of thermal treatment technology of dispose of MSW with lower operating cost and lower pollutants.
