OSTI ID:7042376
;
Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and related compounds have become a major issue among environmentalists, toxicologists and legislators. This book offers the latest information on mechanisms by which dioxins can be formed in incinerators through combustion and pyrolysis of municipal and industrial wastes. Topics considered include the theoretical background and thermochemical decomposition of monomeric aliphatics and aromatics, thermochemical generation and destruction of dibenzofurans and dibenzo-p-dioxins, thermodegradation of organometallics and polymers, incorporation of organic chlorine into organic matter, and thermochemical aromatization.
