Burning Wet Refuse
نویسنده
چکیده
In the past a poor quality residue was frequently excused and accepted when incoming refuse had a high moisture content. This is no longer permissable. Means of coping with the wet refuse problem are summarized, based on reports from operators of IS municipal incinerators of various types, sizes and ages. The author's comments and conclusions are included.

Generating Steam From Prepared Refuse
The thought of burning run-of-the-mine coal in a 1000-Mw utility power plant is appalling. The results would be catastrophic. The furnace would have to be oversized; the unburned combustible loss would be high; the excess air required would be great, thus increasing the amount of flue gas to be cleaned; control of furnace conditions would be next to im possible; stack emissions would be excess...
متن کاملFactors Affecdngthe Performance of a Codisposal Atmospheric Fluidized-bed Combustor
The history of fluidized bed technology dates back 60 years. Gasification of pulverized coal in the Winkler process during the 1920's marked the beginning of fluidized bed application. Consider ,able work done during World War II by U.S. oil companies to improve the catalytic cracking of kerosene led to the development of the Fluid Catalytic Cracking process. Fluidized bed technology later exp...
متن کاملSize-dependent wet removal of black carbon in Canadian biomass burning plumes
Wet deposition is the dominant mechanism for removing black carbon (BC) from the atmosphere and is key in determining its atmospheric lifetime, vertical gradient and global transport. Despite the importance of BC in the climate system, especially in terms of its ability to modulate the radiative energy budget, there are few quantitative case studies of wet removal in ambient environments. We pr...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “Constraints on aerosol processes in climate models from vertically-resolved aircraft observations of black carbon” by Z. Kipling et al
This manuscript compares vertical profiles of black carbon (BC) mixing ratios from two global models (HadGEM3-UKCA and ECHAM5-HAM2) with aircraft observations. The models are found to over-estimate black carbon mixing ratios, particularly in the upper troposphere and tropics. Results of two additional sensitivity tests related to biomass burning emissions and convective wet scavenging are prese...
متن کاملLong term repeated fire disturbance alters soil bacterial diversity but not the abundance in an Australian wet sclerophyll forest
Effects of fire on biogeochemical cycling in terrestrial ecosystem are widely acknowledged, while few studies have focused on the bacterial community under the disturbance of long-term frequent prescribed fire. In this study, three treatments (burning every two years (B2), burning every four years (B4) and no burning (B0)) were applied for 38 years in an Australian wet sclerophyll forest. Resul...
