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...
متن کاملMicrowave Thermal Oxidation of Gas Emissions Resulting from the Risky Medical Waste Incineration
Articolul prezintă o aplicaţie în tehnica microundelor bazată pe utilizarea unor materiale ceramice puternic absorbante de microunde, care dezvoltă un efect de oxidare (post-ardere) termică a emisiilor poluante (CO, SO2, NOx, componente organice volatile COV) rezultate în urma incinerării deşeurilor medicale periculoase. Sunt prezentate aspecte teoretice şi experimentale ale comportării în câmp...
متن کاملIncineration of different types of medical wastes: emission factors for gaseous emissions
Previous research works showed that to protect public health, the hospital incinerators should be provided with air pollution control devices. As most hospital incinerators do not possess such equipment, efficient methodologies should be developed to evaluate the safety of incineration procedure. Emission factors (EF) can be used for an easy estimation of legal parameters. Nevertheless, the act...
متن کاملEnergy Recovery from Waste Incineration—The Importance of Technology Data and System Boundaries on CO2 Emissions
Previous studies on waste incineration as part of the energy system show that waste management and energy supply are highly dependent on each other, and that the preconditions for the energy system setup affects the avoided emissions and thereby even sometimes the total outcome of an environmental assessment. However, it has not been previously shown explicitly which key parameters are most cru...
متن کاملEffect of Process Parameters on Catalytic Incineration of Solvent Emissions
Catalytic oxidation is a feasible and affordable technology for solvent emission abatement. However, finding optimal operation conditions is important, since they are strongly dependent on the application area of VOC incineration. This paper presents the results of the laboratory experiments concerning four most central parameters, that is, effects of concentration, gas hourly space velocity (G...
