These processes can be chemical or physico-chemical, e.g. use of special chemical reagents for chemical fixing, and result in the decomposition or transformation of the agents in harmless or less harmful substances, because of the change in its chemical constitution. These processes can comprise the step of dissolving or dispersing the hazardous substances in water for the purpose of treating them or the step of producing a gaseous product from a non-gaseous hazardous substance.<br> Treatment of specific hazardous substances in sludge, e.g. residue from industrial processes, with the exception of sludge from (municipal) sewage treatment.<br>This group does not cover:<br>Chemical or biological purification of smoke or fumes, covered by B01D53/34<br>Disposal of solid waste, destroying solid waste or transforming solid waste into something useful or harmless, covered by B09B<br>Chemical reclamation of contaminated soil, covered by B09C1/08<br>Treatment of waste water, sewage or sludge, covered by C02F<br>Incorporating waste or residues in a glass or vitreous matrix covered by C03C1/00<br>Incorporating waste or residues in cement or cementitious compositions, covered by C04B7/24<br>Use of waste materials as filler for mortars, concrete or the like covered by C04B18/04<br>Destructive distillation, covered by C10B53/00<br>Obtaining metals from residues or scrap, covered by C22B<br>Consuming waste by combustion, covered by F23G<br>Treatment of radioactively-contaminated waste, covered by G21F9/00	A62D3/00	A62D3/00		146
