Through the experiments of leaching and melting on the fly ash of medical wastes, the influence of leaching time, L/S, pH and grain size on the leaching characteristics of heavy metal and the effect of melting on the stabilization of fly ash are studied. Results show that, following the leaching time extending, the leaching concentrations of heavy metals and lixiviate toxicity of heavy metals increase in the fly ash. When the ratio of liquid and solid add, the leaching concentrations of heavy metals obviously become big, and the Cd's leaching concentration is the biggest, when the ratio of liquid and solid is 90, the Cd' s leaching ratio exceed the percent of 70.

Dyestuff residue, a type of hazardous waste, is incinerated in the tubular furnace, and thermodynamic equilibrium model is used to calculate and analyze the chlorine behavior. The HCl emission and its effects on the behaviors of heavy metals are studied. Meanwhile, the effects of three dechlorine reagents are predicted at a high temperature.

A representative hazardous waste containing heavy metal is electroplating sludge, Thermal characteristic and the distribution of different heavy metal elements (Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, Ni and Mn) was studied. The results of experiment show that from thermal analysis, in the process of experiment of thermal gravity there are some peaks of weight loss as 100 degrees C, 150 degrees C and 600 degrees C among these peaks, the peaks of 100 degrees C and 150 degrees C is caused by that the volatile separated out and organic matter combusted and pyrolysed at the same time, the peak of 600 degrees C is produced by the carbonate decomposed. From EDS analysis, electroplating sludge is composed by these main elements which are O, S, Al, Ca, Cr and Fe, and other secondary elements such as Mg, Cu, Zn, P, Cl and C.
