EnviRONment and other bath smelting processes for treating organic and ferrous wastes

In recent years, it has become apparent that bath smelting may be a suitable technology for treating wastes. Technologies developed by Molten Metal Technology, Ausmelt, Mintek, Techtronics, and the University of Wollongong utilize molten baths of metal and slag to process metal-containing wastes. This paper discusses the similarities and differences between these processes, focusing particularly on the EnvIRONment process.
