The method according to the invention enables a facility having a rather reduced dimension, for incinerating to be used, melting and vitrifying mixed waste () introduced into a reactor (), by means of a basket () in turn passing through an air lock (). Plasma torches () burn all waste () contained in the basket (). The waste is then lowered in a melting bath of a furnace () with an inductor () including a crucible-forming container (). A combustion gas treatment train completes the facility. The furnace () can be dismantled, after a series of treatments of several baskets () of waste () for disassembling the crucible-forming container () from the furnace (). Application in treating different radiologically contaminated and/or toxic mixed waste.

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

A basket for incinerating waste inside an incinerator for a duration longer than fifteen minutes with no need for waste to be molten earlier, particularly when waste is introduced inside the incinerator. The basket includes mainly of a glass fiber envelope: it is preferably stiffened by a lightweight metal structure located inside or outside the envelope or built into it. A gripping handle is installed on top of the assembly that is stiffened at the top by a metal tube to which a lightweight metal structure is fixed and by a base formed from a drip pan fixed to the base of the lightweight metal structure.
