  • Patent number: 5490869
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process and device for treating pollutant fusible materials which are conductors of electricity in the molten state. The process consists in introducing the waste into an induction furnace (11, 40) comprising an inductor circuit (1, 39), and a crucible (1, 8; 38), directly heating the said materials in the crucible by induction so that they melt, induction being created by the inductor circuit (1, 39) galvanically connected to a power source (6), the crucible (1, 8; 38) being the seat of no eddy current, removing the molten products from the furnace, the said products being gathered, after cooling, in non-leachable form.
