[0002] The treatment of hazardous waste containing heavy metals is a major problem in today's industrial production. In the prior art, landfill or plasma furnace high-temperature melting treatment is generally used. The use of landfill method has large land occupation, high cost and the possibility of secondary pollution. The use of plasma furnace to treat hazardous waste containing heavy metals can melt and vitrify the hazardous waste at high temperature to achieve harmlessness, but the equipment investment is very high, the power consumption is also very high, the spare parts consumption of the plasma gun is high, and the operation cost is high, which is economically difficult to bear for the treatment of general hazardous waste.

[0003] The patent document with application number 201810875985.0 discloses a process for cleaning and efficiently treating lead-containing waste slag.
