Co-combustion technology of coal and sewage sludge (SS) was encouraged and recommended in China. Previous studies most focused on its influence on combustion characteristics, migration characteristics of heavy metals in fly ash, and emission of conventional pollutants, etc., but less reported the formation characteristics of polychlorinated-ρ-dibenzodioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs). To well reveal it, this study carried out five parallel experiments, including the pyrolysis of SS, the combustion of SS, the co-combustion of coal and SS with the proportion of 0%, 2.5% and 5%, respectively. The emission concentration of PCDD/Fs respectively increased from 0.42 ng g -1 (0.0022 ng I-TEQ g -1 ) to 0.54 ng g -1 (0.0030 ng I-TEQ g -1 ) and 1.70 ng g -1 (0.0305 ng I-TEQ g -1 ) with increasing blending proportion of SS. The dominant part was also changed from PCDF (0.32 ng g -1 in M-0%, 0.38 ng g -1 in M-2.5%) to PCDD (1.11 ng g -1 in M-5%). The formation concentration of PCDD/Fs in the combustion process of SS was about 0.34 ng g -1 (0.0019 ng I-TEQ g -1 ). In the pyrolysis
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
