Influence of carbonaceous particles on the interaction of coal combustion stack ash with organic matter

Content and Distribution of Trace Elements and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Fly Ash from a Coal-Fired CHP Plant

“…This is in contrast with the previous study which shows a reverse relationship between content and particle size for all PAHs (Arditsoglou et al, 2004). This difference can be interpreted by the highly developed internal surface of coarse ash particles, which could enhance sorptive capacity for PAHs, particularly the high molecular weight PAHs (Griest and Tomkins, 1986;Janvijitsakul and Kuprianov, 2008). Meanwhile, PAHs with different molecular weight have different vapor pressures.…”

Toxic Environmental Releases from Medical Waste Incineration: A Review

“…Investigations regarding PAH emissions include motor vehicle exhausts in urban and suburban areas (Baek et al 1991), vehicular emissions and tobacco smoking (Benner et al 1989;Handa et al 1979;Lee et al 1995;Mi et al 1996;Nasrin et al 1995;Smith and Harrison 1996;Venkataraman et al 1994;Westerholm et al 1991), industrial processes (Griest and Tomkins 1986;Natusch 1978) and in stack gases of incinerators (Colmsjo et al 1986;Davies et al 1976;Eiceman et al 1981;Ingrld et al 1993;Magagni et al 1991;Yasuda et al 1989;Yasuda and Takahashi 1998). Waste composition, temperature and excess air during incineration process determine the quantity of PAHs emitted by a given facility.…”

Emission of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from the liquid injection incineration of petrochemical industrial wastewater

“…: +886 7 7310606x3921; fax: +886 7 7332204. (APCDs) [4]. A number of studies examined the PAH emission from combusting various types of waste and fuels [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”
