As current trends indicate, the amount of waste materials from production processes and from general consumption is rapidly increasing everywhere. Such wastes include solid, liquid, and gaseous elements representing all industrial sectors as well as different waste types of any kind. On the one hand there is an increasing shortage of certain raw materials, and on the other hand the ever-present danger associated with handling various hazardous wastes. Therefore, one can assume with great certainty that more sophisticated and more effective utilization of wastes will define the future orientation of material and energy management [1].
