Study on the Recycling of Borate Silicate Vitreous Waste with Capitalization of Heavy Metals Sludge

Abstract:

The paper follows both the national preservation and durable managing policy, as well as the European laws for the area of environmental protection (UE’s Directive 1999/31/EC – „landfill of waste” an the Council’s Directive no. 94/62/CE regarding the packaging and the packaging waste, amended by the Council’s Directive no. 2004/12/CE). The proposed technologies lead to reducing the need of both raw materials and energy in the process of obtaining various types of glass. The study proposes new ways of retrieving and eliminating waste that contains heavy metals alongside borosilicate shards. This paper also aims to increase the responsibility of the waste generating companies and to make the potential users more sensible.
