Thermal Destruction Behavior of Selected Waste Compounds Under Short-Time, High Quench Rate Conditions

摘要

Emission of waste compounds and byproducts from thermal treatment systems is generally recog- nized to be due to limitations in the transport processes. A relatively small fraction of the feed ma- terial experiences an environment in which complete waste destruction cannot occur within the time available. These environments involve low temperatures, short times (i.e., high quench rates), oxy- gen-starved conditions, and possibly combinations of these. The research reported here examines waste compound destruction under the short reaction times that are representative of flame zone extinction processes.
