When processed with technique of the present invention, it is firstly washed by clean water, separating the stones and sediments, and then the washed fly ash enters into the stock tank through the material feeder. The water that is used for making the grout is preheated by the heat exchanger and then transported to the stock tank, becoming the grout after mixing with the fly ash. The heat source of the heat exchanger is the material of the heat preserving container. Similar to the solube ferrite and ferric salt in the solid form pass through the material feeder and then into the stock tank, starting the stirrer and stirring even as disclosed in the PCT/CN2011/073562. The grout is transported to the heater by the feeding pump; the heater is a serpentuator heater placed in the 550 to 650 C. temperature zone of the flue in the incinerator, formed by bending the corrosion-resistant stainless steel such as 2205 duplex stainless steel of 45*3, the length of the single row tube is 30 m, 5 rows in total, the distributing header is at the inlet, and the collecting header is at the outlet.

After this, keep the circulation until the material reaches the predetermined temperature (during this process, the heat tracing apparatus does not need to work), for example, after keeping the predetermined temperature for 30 to 60 minutes, the material is discharged into the heat exchanger, at the same time, the feeding pump starts material feeding, and then transported to the second heat preserving container through heater, circulating between the second heat preserving container and the heater, until the reaction is completed. The working volume of the first heat preserving container and the second heat preserving container is both 5 m3. The discharged material is cooling down as the pressure is dropping down in the heat exchanger, for the discharged material, the concentration of dioxin in the processed fly ash decreases by 90% or above (toxicity equivalent), transported to the next step or the processing procedure. The advantage of the present system is that the heater only needs a few heating area; and the heat preserving container can be made of normal stainless steel even carbon steel and the safety is still guaranteed.
