Areas of use of waste from incineration

Waste Incineration:

This study examines the development of Energy from Waste incineration within the waste strategies of local authorities in England. With the development of Waste Strategy 2000 for England, produced by DEFRA, (then DETR) and the inclusion of statutory recovery targets for the recovery of energy from waste, along with the implementation of the Landfill Directive (99/31/EC), there created a need fo...

incineration of nuclear waste

Since the end of 1989, ECN renewed its interest in incineration of transuranium elements and fission products. With respect to the transmutation of minor actinides ECN was requested by the clutch government to start a study of a scenario based upon thermal reactors and to work on incineration by means of new fast reactor designs. There are also plans for a study on the possible use of accelerat...

Resource recovery from waste incineration residues

Hazards of Medical Waste Incineration

The reality is that incinerators don’t eliminate toxic substances, they concentrate them. The saying is: toxics in/toxics out. The heavy metals, mercury, lead and cadmium, don’t just disappear; they are basic elements not destroyed by burning. They are still present after incineration, only concentrated in the ash and released to the air from the stack. Of all the trash that enters the incinera...

LCA of metal recovery from waste incineration bottom ash

The important role gained by waste incineration in European waste management systems is recently clashing with increasing concerns about loss of resources in waste, i.e. metals. Even though the recovery of valuable resources in residues from waste incineration is becoming a widespread practice, a significant portions of valuables resources remains in the ash and ends up in disposal sites. The g...
