			====[[Leaching]]====
			*Not well developed at the small scale

			====[[Sintering]] / [[Vitrification]] ====
			*This could potentially be done in an [[Electric Furnace]] or [[Arc Furnace]]
			*Looking into conventional [[Sintering]] or [[Hot Isostatic Pressing]] type equipment as well is a route to look into
			*The goal with this would to be reducing the Leaching potential of the ash (especially [[Bottom Ash]] , [[Fly Ash]] tends to be less contaminated and usable for [[Fly Ash Cement]] etc)
			*The result would be a Basalt/Lava Rock type [[Construction Aggregate]] or Non-Hazmat Waste to Landfill
