Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry was used to analyze the pyrolytic byproducts from an Army-unique propellant compound (AA2) that is composed of predominantly nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin. Compounds produced by AA2 pyrolysis were compared to compounds detected in the gaseous effluent from AA2 incineration. The light permanent gases and most of the higher molecular weight byproducts produ...

Waste incineration still seems to be an essential technology in the concept of integrated waste management. However, the desirable quantity of waste incineration residue needs to be as low as possible. Therefore, related optimization of two-stage waste incineration technology has been performed with the main goal of producing lower amounts of boiler ash, fly ash and flue gas-treatment residue, ...

This study assessed the energy potential, economic feasibility, and environmental performance of landfill gas (LFG) recovery, incineration, anaerobic digestion (AD) technologies for Phnom Penh municipality in Cambodia, from 2023 to 2042. The analysis utilized levelized cost electricity (LCOE), payback period (PBP), net present value (NPV) evaluate feasibility each technology. Additionally, was ...

A. John Chandler, A.J�Chandler & Associates Ltd., Willowdale, ON Canada Shin-ichi Sakai, Environmental Preservation Center, Kyoto University, Japan Incineration is generally considered a CO2 neutral means of managing MSW. A thorough evaluation of the environmental effects ofMSW incineration should consider the potential for greenhouse gas effects from the methane emissions of managed landfills ...

Adiox is a state-of-the-art dioxin removal technology that has established itself as a cost-effective way to reduce dioxin emissions to the atmosphere. Adiox is a construction material in which carbon particles are dispersed in a polymer such as polypropylene. Several types of components such as tower packings for wet scrubbers, demisters (droplet separators) and dry or semi-wet fixed bed filli...

Disposal of municipal solid waste in sanitary landfills is still the main waste management method in the Attica region, as in most regions of Greece. Nevertheless, diversion from landfilling is being promoted by regional plans, in which the perspectives of new waste treatment technologies are being evaluated. The present study aimed to assess the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions impact of differe...
