The destruction of toxic organic wastewaters from munitions demilitarization and complex industrial chemical clearly becomes an overwhelming problem if left to conventional treatment processes. Two options, incineration and supercritical water oxidation (SCWO), exist for the complete destruction of toxic organic wastewaters. Incinerator has associated problems such as very high cost and public ...

Introduction There is a significant and inevitable fact in Turkey which is the “sludge problem” generated from the wastewater treatment plants. There are many sludge disposal techniques currently applied in Turkey such as incineration, landfilling, composting, etc.; but the disposal of sludge with those conventional methods is difficult and expensive, often requiring over 50 per cent of the ope...

The Fisher Burner produces an intensly hot flame for all types of laboratory heating operations including many ignitions and incinerations which otherwise would require the use of compressed air. Instead of the cold cone and hot tip characteristic of the Bunsen flame, the Fisher flame is short and wide and is uniformly hot throughout.

2 9 The individual waste management quantities reported are mutually exclusive to avoid double-counting. For example, an incinerator may destroy 99% of the chemical in the waste; in this case, the amount reported as treated on-site would be the amount destroyed by the incinerator, not the amount that entered the incinerator. The amount not destroyed in incineration (1%) would be reported as rel...

municipal solid wastes (msws) vary in terms of quality and quantity, especially their toxic content. the efficient and sound disposal of msws not only needs implementing an integrated management procedure, but also performing a conservative way to reduce the impacts on resources. in the present research, after characterization of msw streams and consideration of disposal methods practiced in si...

Emissions of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/F) from waste incineration into the air have been a major focus of interest during the last two decades. An integrated approach to clean waste disposal has to take the occurrence of PCDD/F in all residues into account. This paper compiles published data on concentration ranges of PCDD/F and the related compounds polychlorina...
