The Vicker`s microhardness, chemical durability and magnetic susceptibility of vitrified waste was tested.The glassceramics containing 40-50 % of nickel leaching residue with a high microhardness and very good chemical durability wasobtained in a short time of heating (45 minutes). %K waste %K nickel leaching residue %K microwave vitrification %K leaching %K microhardness %U http://actamont.tuke.sk/pdf/2012/n1/7_Kovacova.pdf
