Method and facility for incinerating, melting and vitrifying organic and metal waste

A method for incinerating, melting and vitrifying mixed waste (30) including metal and organic waste and likely to contain mineral materials, on the one hand, and radiologically contaminated and/or toxic waste, on the other hand,

• characterised in that it comprises the following steps of:
• introducing in an oxygen plasma medium incinerating reactor with a cold or warm metal wall (10), by means of a basket (18) of glass fibre, through an air lock (12) opening into the reactor (10), waste (30) placed in a bag, said bag being placed in the basket (18);
• incinerating waste (30) in the reactor (10);
• melting residual fractions derived from the incineration of waste (30) and the basket (18), in an induction furnace (20), of the type with melting in a crucible-forming container (23), this furnace (20) being placed below the reactor (10);
• vitrifying molten residual fractions into a glass matrix;
• repeating this cycle for each basket (18);
• dismantling the furnace (20) and disassembling the crucible-forming container (23).
