Abstract Incineration is one of the key technologies in disposal municipal waste, which produces solid waste incineration (MSWI) residues with high valuable metal contents. The recycling strategy for MSWI typically focused on recovery scrap metals yielding processed (PIR) as main byproduct. However, PIR still contains metals, particularly gold, cannot be extracted by conventional methods. Here,...

This study monitored ambient air concentrations of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) in three municipal waste incineration plants. Blood PCDD/Fs levels of 133 workers randomly selected from these plants were also measured. The associations between workers' blood PCDD/Fs concentrations and occupational exposures to PCDD/Fs were assessed. Means of air P...

Taiwan is an energy-importing nation with more than 97% of energy consumption supplied by imported fuels. In this regard, renewable energy like waste-to-energy is become attractive. The objective of this paper is to present an overview of energy utilization from the cogeneration system of municipal solid waste (MSW) incineration in recent years. The description is thus centered on MSW generatio...

The purpose of this study is to make a technological and financial forecast for the future construction similar facilities based on feasibility data from Istanbul Domestic Waste Incineration Energy Production Facility, which was constructed minimize environmental damage give domestic solid wastes economic value, as opposed storing disposing them. examined initial investment operating costs faci...

This document is an evaluation of the Shirco infrared thermal destruction technology and its applicability as an onsite treatment method for waste site cleanup. A demonstration was conducted at the Peak Oil Superfund site in Brandon, FL in Aug. 1987 during a removal action employing a commercial-scale transportable unit. A second demonstration was conducted at the Demode Road Superfund site in ...

Since the end of 1989, ECN renewed its interest in incineration of transuranium elements and fission products. With respect to the transmutation of minor actinides ECN was requested by the clutch government to start a study of a scenario based upon thermal reactors and to work on incineration by means of new fast reactor designs. There are also plans for a study on the possible use of accelerat...
