THE EFFECT OF ORGANIC AND INORGANIC CHLORIDES ON THE FORMATION OF HCL WITH VARIOUS HYDROGEN CONTAINING SOURCES IN A FLUIDIZED BED INCINERATOR

摘要

A laboratory scale fluidized bed incinerator was used to examine the hydrogen chloride formation resulting from the presence of organic and inorganic chlorides. Poly vinyl chloride, PVC) and NaCl were used as organic and inorganic chlorides respectively. In order to check the level of HCl generated, additives (sawdust and water) were used to offer the Hydrogen containing source needed for HCl formation. Various operating conditions (temperature in sand bed and freeboard) ware also studied to characterize the potential of HCl emission. The amount of HCl generated from NaCl and PVC was found to be quite different under various operating conditions and additives.
