Cogeneration as related to phosphorus incineration
This thesis was completed with two goals in mind. First, a method or technique was used for deducing the optimum cogeneration potential of a typical chemical plant, which may be paralleled to for any given medium to large multiprocess plant. The optimum cogeneration process was weighed against …

'Incineration: A burning issue or a load of rubbish?’ Examining public attitudes to municipal solid waste incineration
… public attitudes to municipal solid waste (MSW) incineration. The area chosen for the study was Carlow town, a regional town in County Carlow, Ireland. A public questionnaire survey was carried out among local residents. Interviews were also carried out with local councillors to provide a …

Accelerated carbonation of municipal solid waste incineration residues
Incineration can reduce the mass and volume of municipal waste significantly but produces solid waste in the form of bottom ash and air pollution control (APC) residues. Landfill is currently the most commonly used disposal option for these ash residues, however, the impact of hazardous compounds …

Mechanisms governing the abatement of metal emissions from waste incineration.
A naturally occurring sorbent, kaolinite, is injected into a down-flow pilot scale combustor burning natural gas, doped with a surrogate metal containing waste (usually lead acetate). When sorbent is not introduced, lead vaporized in the flame ultimately forms a unimodal particle size distribution …

The effect of burning on pre-incineration trauma in bone
The act of burning is a common method of destroying and concealing evidence which may include dismemberment of the body. Saws used during dismemberment leave characteristic marks on bone, the analysis of which can assist in forensic casework. Research that has been conducted to date, provide …

Municipal Solid Waste Incineration (MSWI) Ash Characterization and Physical Concentration
Bottom ash (BA), generated from the incineration of municipal solid waste (MSW), contains valuable elements which present a potential economic incentive to attempt recovery. The first study of this thesis investigated the physical, chemical, and mineralogical characterization of MSWI-BA samples …

Optimization study of incineration in a incinerator with a vertical radiation shaft.
An extensive series of experimental tests were carried out at the Sheffield municipal solid waste incinerator plant (30 MW) from September 1988 to July 1989 to investigate the influence of the design and operating parameters on the performance of the incinerator which burns domestic and commercial …

Incineration and environmental justice : the case of communities around Connecticut resource recovery facilities
The current depleting landfill capacity in Connecticut means that resource recovery facilities will be relied on heavily to meet the States' waste disposal needs. This heavy reliance on these facilities will place greater burdens on the host communities of these waste facilities. Therefore it is …

Rotary kiln incineration of hazardous wastes: pilot-scale studies at Louisiana State University
Studies of incineration of surrogates for hazardous wastes are conducted in the pilot-scale rotary kiln incinerator (RKI) at Louisiana State University (LSU) in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The purpose of the research is to investigate methods of treating and destroying hazardous wastes in a …

Experimental and modeling studies of formation of products of incomplete combustion and chlorocarbon incineration
… used to investigate the process of chlorocarbon incineration and formation of products of incomplete combustion. For this purpose methylene chloride was used as a chlorine-containing compound. The propose of this research was to obtain a better understanding of the incineration process of …

Application of chemical kinetic modeling to improve design and performance criteria for a practical incineration system
… Combustion Chamber (SCC) of the Rotary Kiln incineration Simulator (RKIS) at the EPA facility at Research Triangle Park, NC. The networked ideal model was developed using analysis of reactor geometry, temperature profile measurements, and SO_2 tracer data provided by EPA. A computer …

TNT-contaminated soils remediation for volunteer Army ammunitions plant
… technologies are phytoremediation and thermal incineration. Phytoremediation is an in-site wetlands-type remediation which uses plants. Thermal incineration (mobile) treatment achieves complete destruction of the organic portion of the contaminated soil using heat. After evaluation of both …

Parametric study of heavy metal partitioning in a pilot scale incinerator burning simulated municipal solid waste
Incineration is a combustion process used to convert toxic waste to benign gases and residue in presence of excess air. The products of the incineration process are bottom ash, fly ash and the flue gas. Most of the metal-based phases formed in incineration are toxic and their emissions need to be …

Elemental Characterization of Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator Ash and Its Leachates Using Neutron Activation Analysis and Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy
Incineration of municipal solid waste (MSW) is an increasingly attractive option for dealing with the burgeoning quantity of solid waste generated in the West. A combination of neutron activation analysis (NAA), inductively coupled plasma (ICP), and x-ray fluorescence (XRF) are used to analyze a …

QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE PROCEDURE FOR UNCERTAINTY ANALYSIS IN LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT OF WASTEWATER SOLIDS TREATMENT PROCESSES
… treatment scenario (dewatering-multiple hearth incineration-ash to landfill) was analyzed. To improve the environmental performance, two alternative scenarios (fluid bed incineration and anaerobic digestion) were proposed, constructed, and evaluated. System boundaries were set to include the …
