Emission Characteristics of Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-Dioxins/Dibenzofurans (PCDD/DFs) in Commercial Bio-SRF and SRF Incineration Plants

Abstract: Incineration plants using solid refused fuel (SRF) should control their air pollution materials to minimize environmental impact. This study evaluated the emission of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin/dibenzofurans (PCDD/DFs) congener patterns in seven commercial incineration plants in Korea using SRF and biomass SRF (bio-SRF). We examined the reduction rate differences of PCDD/DFs, depending on the air pollutant control device. All seven incineration plants sufficiently managed their dioxin emissions. However,… Show more

“…This might control the incomplete combustion behavior, which could lower the CO emissions. However, the NO x concentration of facility A was higher than that of facility B and C. During the combustion reaction of waste, NO x can be mainly generated by two different factors such as fuel NO x and thermal NO x [23]. According to the ultimate analysis, the feedstock in facility A, B and C contained similar nitrogen (N) content (ranging between 0.16 and 0.21 wt%) for the pyrolysis, which did not critically influence NO x formation.…”
