Modeling On-Grate MSW Incineration with Experimental Validation in a Batch Incinerator [PDF]
Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 2010 This Article presents a 2-D steady-state model developed for simulating on-grate municipal solid waste incineration, termed GARBED-ss. Gas-solid reactions, gas flow through the porous waste particle bed, conductive, convective, and radiative heat transfer, drying and pyrolysis of the feed, the emission of volatile species, combustion of the pyrolysis ...

Thermodynamic study of heavy metals behavior during municipal waste incineration [PDF]
, 2005 The incineration of municipal solid waste (MSW) contributes significantly to the presence of heavy metals in urban area aerosols. It is thus important to ascertain the quantities and chemical forms of the heavy metals (HM) that are emitted from the ...

Solid Waste Incineration Modelling for Advanced Moving Grate Incinerators [PDF]
Sustainability, 2020 Currently, the design of advanced moving grate (AMG) incinerators for solid waste is aided by computational simulations. The simulation approach couples a waste bed model to characterize the incineration processes of the waste material on top of the moving grate, with a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to reproduce the heated air movement and ...

Risks, alternative knowledge strategies and democratic legitimacy: the conflict over co-incineration of hazardous industrial waste in Portugal. [PDF]
, 2011 The decision to incinerate hazardous industrial waste in cement plants (the socalled ‘co-incineration’ process) gave rise to one of the most heated environmental conflicts ever to take place in Portugal. The bitterest period was between 1997 and 2002,

The precautions of clinical waste: disposable medical sharps in the United Kingdom [PDF]
, 2009 This article deals with recent changes in UK guidance on clinical waste, in particular a shift to disposable, single-use instruments and sharps. I use interviews conducted with nurses from a GP practice and two clinical waste managers at alternative ...

Comparison of the co-gasification of sewage sludge and food wastes and cost-benefit analysis of gasification- and incineration-based waste treatment schemes [PDF]
, 2016 The compositions of food wastes and their co-gasification producer gas were compared with the existing data of sewage sludge. Results showed that food wastes are more favorable than sewage sludge for co-gasification based on residue generation and energy

Nanomaterial disposal by incineration
Environ. Sci.: Processes Impacts, 2013 As nanotechnology-based products enter into widespread use, nanomaterials will end up in disposal waste streams that are ultimately discharged to the environment. One possible end-of-life scenario is incineration. This review attempts to ascertain the potential pathways by which nanomaterials may enter incinerator waste streams and the fate of these ...
