Kitchen waste and tree branches are two of the most common solid materials suitable for on-site disposal. Quantification combustion characteristics these is vital designing an appropriate incinerator. In this paper, a mixture kitchen have been analyzed. As theoretical basis design incinerator arches severely limited in published literature, novel momentum flux methodology α-shaped flame has dev...

Medical waste constitutes one of the waste streams that should be dealt with special priority due to its potential negative impact on public health and on the environment. Incineration is a process that is widely used for the treatment of medical waste. However, self-supporting combustion of medical waste cannot avoid releasing many hazardous pollutants into our environment. The most favored so...

In September 1998 the Ministry of Health and Welfare announced that high concentrations of dioxins were detected in the samples of soil near the incinerator and ash, drainage, sludge and others remained in the furnace and air pollution control devices of municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) in rural part of Osaka Prefecture. According to the results the Ministry of Labor immediately organiz...

Incineration is an everlasting field of activity by a diverse group of consulting engineers, manufacturers, p"opliers, builders and userB. This lexi�on has been I npiled I to aid them, by developing a common and clear language. The report was compiled from many ,Sources, in the hope that it will lead to f! uniform lex­ Icon, which will be adopted by all interested groups. The author will, there...

Heavy metals are present in a variety of products and can be released during product life cycles. The concentration of metals in municipal solid waste (MSW) reflects the amount of metals in products and is directly related to the amount of metals transferred to disposal sites. Measured monthly mean concentrations of cadmium, lead, and mercury in the ash from May 1995 through October 2007 at the...

Refuse incinerator operation poses a tremendous challenge for efficient supervision due to the highly complexity of physical and chemical mechanisms inside the systems. It is difficult to comprehend operational knowledge without thorough study and long-term on site experiments. Fortunately, many sensors are installed in incineration plants and tremendous amounts of raw data about daily practice...
