Dioxin and furan emissions from a fluidized-bed incinerator during the combustion of paper recycling residues

The Effect of Sulfur Dioxide on the Formation of Molecular Chlorine during Co-Combustion of Fuels

“…Coal as a co-firing energy source for municipal solid wastes, is able to suppress the formation of chlorine-containing organic compounds. Scheidle and co-workers demonstrated that adding lignite coal as an auxiliary fuel to paper recycling residues decreased the levels of dioxins in fluidized-bed incinerator emissions . Similar results can be inferred from the studies − which showed that co-firing MSW with 60% coal drastically reduced the formation of PCDD/Fs.…”

Gas-phase atmospheric chemistry of dibenzo-p-dioxin and dibenzofuran

“…The initial reactant concentrations were (in molecule cm-3 units) CH3ONO, -2.4 X 1014; NO, -2. p-dioxin, (1.6-4.1) X 1011, or dibenzofuran, (2.4-3.0) X 1012; and cyclohexane or propene, (2.4-4.8) X 1013. Irradiations were carried out for [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] min at the maximum light intensity for the experiments with cyclohexane as the reference compound, and they were carried out for 3-24 min at 50% of the maximum light intensity for the experiments with propene as the reference compound. The maximum light intensity corresponded to an NO2 photolysis rate of 7.5 X 10"3 s"1.…”
