“…Obviously, in both stack gas and fly ash, the 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF takes the more important role in secondary aluminum production than in secondary copper production. However, the abundance sequences are quite similar between these two secondary metallurgies but different from that reported for Belgium (Buekens et al, 2000).…”

“…In stack gas, the homologue distribution is also dominated by HxCDF, but in fly ash the contributions of these five homologues are almost the same. Additionally, the dominant role of the HxCDF in stack gas was also observed in report of Belgium (Buekens et al, 2000).…”

“…It has been reported that homologue patterns are similar among various thermal processes, with PCDF percentages being higher than that of PCDDs (Hagenmaier et al, 1994;Buekens et al, 2000). Therefore, the PCDD/PCDF (D/F) ratio can serve as an indicator of contamination from thermal sources (Aurell et al, 2009a).…”

This study investigated the influence of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) in the waste gas from an incinerator on the surrounding environment. A series of air and soil samples were collected at distances from 1.35 to 4.72 km from a typical municipal solid waste incineration plant along the prevailing north wind direction. Concentrations of PCDD/Fs in the ambient air samples ranged from 0.23 to 1.66 pg I-toxic equivalent (TEQ)/m 3 , with an average of 0.82 pg I-TEQ/m 3 ; while concentrations in the soil samples varied from 0.54 to 1.96 pg I-TEQ/g, with an average of 1.33 pg I-TEQ/g. Principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis showed that the municipal solid waste incinerator has a potential influence on the environmental level of PCDD/Fs, and that emissions from traffic also play an important role.

“…It is interesting that similar trends to the sintering process can be seen for the exhaust gases from the smelting processes of copper and zinc. 8) It is also noteworthy that higher ratios of PCDFs to PCDDs have reported during heat treatments of the mixture of carbon particles, e.g., soot and activated carbon, and copper or iron chlorides. The ratio of PCDFs to PCDDs is about 20 for iron chloride 9) and 10 for copper chloride.…”

The emissions of dioxins to the environmental air from iron ore sintering plants become to be regulated by the new Japanese law against dioxins. The emissions from Japanese sintering plants have been already fairly low levels by large efforts made so far for their reduction. However, substantial and systematic countermeasures are not yet developed and, further, detailed information has not been available on the formation/decomposition of dioxins in the sintering plant.In the present investigation, two different plants were chosen and samplings were made for gaseous, liquid and solid materials at various positions of the processes. Concentrations of dioxins and other compounds of the samples were analyzed. Understanding of the characteristics of the dioxins formation in the sintering process has been attempted on the basis of the analytical results. Macroscopic behavior of dioxins in the sintering and waste gas treatment processes is discussed. Further, the results of the plant test obtained with and without use of recycling materials are reported.
