Thermal Degradation of Military Standard Pesticide Formulations.

摘要

The study was aimed at providing key experimental data for the design of a prototype pesticide incineration system. A total of 14chlorinated hydrocarbon military standard pesticide formulations have been investigated in the laboratory-scale incinerator,and it has been demonstrated that incineration is an extremely efficient process for the safe disposal of these pesticide formulations. Based on the experimental data, a minimum residence time of 0.4second at temperatures above 1845F and excess air in the range of 45to 60percent is recommended as the operating region for pesticide incineration. In addition,supplementary experiments indicated that pesticide incineration has little or no effect on the combustion chamber refractory liners,and that no significant agglomeration or breakdown of the dust particles would take place in the incineration of the dust formulations. Analytical procedures and thermochemistry and kinetics are discussed.
