This process is based on thermal treatment of contaminated soil or waste at high temperatures, with the addition of additives, whereby the soil/waste melts and a stable glass is formed. The resulting glass and glass-ceramic products have good mechanical resistance, chemically are resistant and immobilize contaminants, thus preventing their further negative impact on the environment. This paper presents a literature review of the vitrification process of different types of contaminated soil and hazardous waste. eng Keywords: vitrification, contaminated soil, waste, environment protection 2021 Vitrification as a method of soil remediation https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:233 doi:10.5937/zasmat2103166T cobiss:65319177 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode Trifunović, Vanja
