Utilization of municipal solid waste incinerator fly ash in cement mortars
Disposal of municipal solid waste has become a major problem in many countries around the world. With the benefits of substantial weight and volume reduction and potential energy recovery, incineration has become a promising municipal solid waste (MSW) management option. Despite the fact that …

Parametric study of heavy metal partitioning in a pilot scale incinerator burning simulated municipal solid waste
… in various incineration products. A pilot-scale incinerator of 140,000 Btu/hr capacity was constructed, characterized and operated at NJIT. A synthetic fuel representative of the municipal solid waste in the United States was formulated and produced in 600 lb batches. The synthetic fuel was in …

Elementary, pressure dependent model for combustion of C1, C2 and nitrogen containing hydrocarbons : operation of a pilot scale incinerator and model comparison
A 140000 BTU/hr pilot scale incinerator has been constructed, tested and run; and an online sampling train capable of taking in situ data has been established. The continuous on-line analytical instruments include a CO analyzer, an NO/NOx analyzer and an 02 analyzer. In addition, two gas …

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 …
