Abstract

A process for rendering usable disposal products is described, in which unsorted pollutant-containing industrial, domestic and/or special refuse undergoes a high temperature treatment. Accompanied by the entraining of existing liquid fractions and while maintaining its mixed and combined structure, the disposal product is compressed batchwise to compact packs. While maintaining the pressure action it is subsequently positively introduced into a channel heated to over 100.degree. C. and is kept in sliding, non-positive contact with the channel walls until the initially present liquids are evaporated and mechanical restoring forces of individual disposal product components are eliminated. The entrained organic constituents at least partly assume a binder function. The shape and structurally stable, lumpy solid conglomerate forced out of the channel in this state is introduced into a high temperature reactor maintained at at least 1000.degree. C. and forms therein a gas-permeable bed.
