The sampling and analysis method is proposed for the measurement of chlorobenzenes and chlorophenols in emission gas of a municipal solid waste incinerator, based on results of recovery tests. The sampling method was evaluated by varying the sampling gas temperature and flow rate. According to the results of recovery tests, the lower temperature of sampling gas attained a higher absorption efficiency of diethylene glycol, and the low flow rate of sampling gas was beneficial to the activated carbon chip trap. In the analysis of sampled gas, the clean-up method was elaborated based on standard compounds. The amount of loss for each standard compound during clean-up procedure was less than 20%. Finally, two types of gas, one from the upper part of the fluidized bed and the other taken from the outlet of the secondary combustion chamber, were sampled and analyzed by the method proposed in this paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
