Characterization of solid waste incinerator emissions

Abstract

In this paper, fly ash and solid residues produced by an incinerator of refuse derived fuel (RDF) are analyzed for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and heavy metals. Furthermore, the content of that species in the fly ash and the concentration of hydrochloric acid and particulate in the gas stream are tested before and after the flue gas treatment system (wet scrubbing type) to determine the system`s efficiency. Chemical analysis of the extracts is performed by high resolution gas chromatography with mass-spectrometric detector (GC-MS) and atomic absorption spectroscopy. A description of the incinerator plant and of the flue gas treatment system is presented and the results are discussed.
