Engineering Evaluation and Control of Toxic Airborne Effluents. Volume 1. Single Droplet Studies of Surrogate Hazardous Waste Incineration. Volume 2. Research and Development of Methods for the Engineering Evaluation and Control of Toxic Airborne Effluents

摘要

The report is issued in two volumes. Volume 1 is entitled 'Single Droplet Studies of Surrogate Hazardous Waste Incineration'; Volume 2 is entitled 'Research and Development of Methods for the Engineering Evaluation and Control of Toxic Airborne Effluents', and consists of two parts: (1) 'Transport of Volatile Organic Compounds'; and (2) 'Volatile Organic Compound Emissions from Soils'. Vol. 1 describes research to characterize the burning and vaporization of single droplets of various chlorinated hydrocarbons, to develop a single droplet incinerability ranking methodology which could complement existing incinerability ranking methodologies. Thus ranked, the chlorinated hydrocarbons could be used in the treatment and disposal of hazardous wastes through hazardous waste incineration. Part 1 of Volume 2 attempts to quantify emissions of volatile organic compounds from oil sumps; Part 2 describes the volatilization of fuel components from leaking underground gasoline storage tanks.
