“…A number of publications report the operation temperature of the filter (Vogg et al 1989, Mariani et al 1990, Greiner & Stelzner 1991, Hiraoka et al 1991, Ide et al 1994, Ishida et al 1998, Shin & Chang 1999, Stieglitz et al 1999, Giugliano et al 2001, 2002, Everaert & Baeyens 2002. These data are used in Figure 5 to plot the PCDD/F concentrations of ESP ashes as a function of the filter temperature.…”

PCDD/F and related compounds in solid residues from municipal solid waste incineration - a literature review

Emissions of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/F) from waste incineration into the air have been a major focus of interest during the last two decades. An integrated approach to clean waste disposal has to take the occurrence of PCDD/F in all residues into account. This paper compiles published data on concentration ranges of PCDD/F and the related compounds polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), chlorinated benzenes and phenols, as well as polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in solid residues from waste incineration in grate furnaces and their development since 1985. A short description of inertization processes for PCDD/F loaded materials is added.

“…However, Shaub and Tsang showed that PCDDlF formed via such a mechanism is unlikely to survive if temperatures are high enough ('900 "C) (5). The PCDD/F concentration in the flue gas leaving the combustion chamber increases while traversing the post-combustion zone (6,7). This observation suggests that the formation takes place in the post-combustion zone, involving lower temperatures and possibly a catalyzed mechanism.…”

“…Incineration is an efficient and widely used technology for disposal of wastes, such as industrial waste, municipal solid waste (MSW), and hazardous waste (Hiraoka et al, 1990;Chang and Huang, 1996;Chang and Chen, 2000;Giugliano et al, 2002;McKay, 2002;Stanmore, 2002). Unfortunately, trace amounts of highly toxic compounds are also generated.…”

The emissions of a full range of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) from incinerators have become a significant issue in both aspects of environmental and public health protection. Fluidized bed incinerators (FBI) have been widely used as a typical technology for industrial waste treatment in recent years, especially in the petrochemical industry in Japan, Germany, and Taiwan. In response to public concerns, the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) in Taiwan had proposed strict limits on the emissions of PCDD/Fs for both industrial and municipal incinerators. The emission standard is 0.1 ng/Nm 3 , expressed as the 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) toxic equivalent of 17 specific dioxins and furans congeners. These limits will potentially influence technology selection and design in combustion processes, energy recovery options, and air pollution control devices. Since fluidized bed incinerators with revolving type combustors have been continuously popular in Taiwan for handling industrial sludge, spent oils, and solid wastes, an interesting exercise is to compare the stack concentrations against the proposed standard of concentrations of dioxins and furans (i.e., 0.1 ng/Nm 3 TCDD TEQ (toxicity equivalence) and search for a more cost effective way to improve the control strategy. Research findings in this article confirm that the formation and emissions of PCDD/Fs, prior to particulates control device, exhibit a substantial positive correlation with CO concentration in the flue gases. Without using the technique of activated carbon injection to reduce the emissions of PCDD/Fs, the revolving type FBI cannot comply with the emission standards of PCDD/Fs required in Taiwan.
