Waste Incineration and Dust Collection Technology.

Optimal Planning of Solid Waste Collection, Recycling and Incineration System

The combustion temperature control for the potential emissions of trace organic compounds during incinera­ tion and the possible decrease of heating values by waste recycling have created a mutually influenced infrastruc­ ture in the current integrated solid waste management sys­ tem. This paper illustrates the problem of the compatibility between waste recycling and incineration by a nonlinear...

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...

Hospital infectious-waste incineration dilemmas.

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...
