“…OCDD is the most prominent congener in the woodchip samples. The PCDD/F congener profile of the stack flue gases is more dominant with OCDD (> 30%) followed by 2,3,7,2,3,4,6,7,showing close similarity with that of the other woodchip-fuelled boiler , and that of burning of the tree bark samples (Ferrario et al, 2000). The PCDD/F congener profiles of the ash samples are generally similar to that of the stack flue gases, especially for bottom residues, but with the increase of PCDD/F contents, 2,3,7,8-TeCDF possesses higher fraction.…”
