A new theory of dioxin formation in municipal solid waste combustion

摘要: This paper proposes a new theory of polychlorinated dioxin (PCDD) formation from MSW and coal combustion which more generally accounts for the PCDD levels found in their respective stack emissions evaluates specifically key chlorination step. Of special importance is data showing dioxins formed combustion, but none coal. [1,2,3,4] A three phased approach was taken this stud)' order to derive theory. It included an evaluation concentrations total chlorine sulphur representative fuel analyses, thermodynamic inorganic specie reaction either enhance or prevent precursors, calculations based on published test verifies general formation. Relevant insitu generation gas (C12) via Deacon presented evaluated.
