Waste to energy incineration technology: Recent development under climate change scenarios
Waste Management Research, 2022With the huge generation of municipal solid waste (MSW), proper management and disposal of MSW is a worldwide challenge for sustainable development of cities and high quality of citizens life.

The American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology, 1997
During a 10-year period (1980-1989), at least 43 cases of self-incineration with lethal outcome took place in Denmark. The incidence seems to be increasing: 11 cases took place in the first 5 years and 32 cases in the last 5 years. An even sex ratio as found (male:female = 23:20). The median age was 43 years, with a broad age range (20-87).

Incineration of hazardous wastes
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 1991Glaxo has practiced incineration of liquid and gaseous wastes for over twenty years and currently operate eleven liquid and gas incinerators in the United Kingdom and Singapore. The liquid incinerators burn, as their main streams, those solvents that cannot be recovered and recycled within the processes.

INCINERATION ‐ IS THERE A CASE?
Water and Environment Journal, 2005ABSTRACTIncineration has suffered from a sustained campaign of misinformation. Consequently it has been regarded as the least sustainable option for the treatment of wastes, including sewage sludge. By looking carefully at the issues surrounding the incineration of sewage sludge, as an example, it can be seen that reality does not support the commonly ...

Incinerability index: A measure of incinerator performance
Waste Management, 1990Abstract A series of 10 incineration tests were performed on a synthetic hazardous waste containing tetrachloroethylene, toluene, chlorobenzene, and pentachlorobenzene as principal organic hazardous components (POHCs). Sulfur hexafluoride was also injected into the mixture just prior to incineration and the resulting destruction removal efficiencies (

The incineration research facility
Waste Management & Research, 1990The Cincinnati-based Risk Reduction Engineering Laboratory, Office of Research and Development, U.S. EPA operates the Incineration Research Facility (IRF) in Jefferson, Arkansas. This facility's pilot-scale experimental incineration systems include a Rotary Kiln System and a Liquid Injection System.

Comprehensive modeling of HFC-23 incineration in a CDM incinerator
Journal of Material Cycles and Waste Management, 2016Considering that a significant part of used refrigerants have to be destroyed in an environmentally friendly manner together with the high global warming potential (GWP) of HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons), the development of a proper incineration method of HFCs becomes one of the viable methods in the refrigeration and air-conditioning industry. To this end,

Evaluation of the USEPA CRF Incinerator as Determined by Hexachlorobenzene Incineration
Hazardous Waste, 1984ABSTRACT The USEPA Combustion Research Facility incinerator has been challenged in a series of experiments using toluene solutions of hexachlorobenzene (HCB) in which the HCB input and stack emission rates were determined. The resulting destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) was found to be in excess of the required 99.99%.

Journal of Vinyl Technology, 1988
AbstractAmong the most feared toxic chemicals known to man is 2,3,7,8‐tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD). PVC is a source of chlorine in waste and therefore it has been contended that its means of disposal should not be incineration. It is argued that the chlorine content of non‐PVC sources is in excess of that needed for dioxin production and therefore ...
