Technical Issues Concerned with PCDD (Polychlorodibenzo-p-dioxins) and PCDF (Polychlorodibenzofuran) Formation and Destruction in MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) Fired Incinerators

摘要

Technical issues concerned with underlying factors that can potentially affect the levels of PCDD and PCDF emissions from MSW fired incinerators have been analyzed. Major conclusions of this study are that presorting of municipal waste prior to incineration to remove chlorine does not appear to be a reasonable option and that PCDD and PCDF formation is not likely to take place in the stack of an incinerator.
