“…MWIs were found to be major source of PCDD/ Fs followed by MSWIs into the atmosphere (Brzuzy and Hites 1996;Jones et al 1994;Pandompatam et al 1997). These generate relatively large amounts of PCDD/F due to lack of optimal APCDs and high fraction of chlorine containing combustibles (Brzuzy and Hites 1996).…”

Toxic releases from medical waste incineration comprising organic emissions such as polychlorinated dibenzo-dioxin/furan (PCDD/Fs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), inorganic emissions and ashes containing toxic metals have been reviewed. Attempts made by various investigators to reduce/eliminate emissions have also been included. Legislations concerning emission standards for medical waste incinerators have been discussed.

“…It is understood that polychlorinated dibenzo-pdioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans are formed in each thermal process, if the combustion environment is organic matter and chlorine is present. The ways of formation and emission of dioxins in the combustion process are as follows [Brzuzy & Hites 1996, Jones et al 1994]:…”

“…According to this act, the limits of individual pollutants concentrations formed during the coking process have been fixed. These include: CH 4 , CO, CO 2 , NH 4 , NMVOC (non-methane volatile organic compounds), NO x , SO x , heavy metals and their compounds (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Zn), PCDDs (polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins) and PCDFs (polychlorinated dibenzofurans), anthracene, benzene, naphthalene, PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), HCN and PM 10 (particulate matter, fraction below 10 µm) [Regulation EC 2006].…”

Emission of Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-Dioxins (PCDDs) and Polychlorinated Dibenzofurans (PCDFs) from Underfiring System of Coke Oven Battery

et al. 2017

A coke oven battery is not considered as a significant source of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) emissions; however, due to small amounts of chlorine in coal dioxins, dibenzofurans may be formed. The paper presents the attempts to determine the level of emission of PCDDs/PCDFs from the COB underfiring system and to confront the obtained results with the calculations based on the mass balance of chlorine in the coking process and reactions of both chlorophenols formation and PCDDs and PCDFs formation from mono-and polychlorophenols. There were PCDDs/PCDFs concentrations measured in flue gases from the underfiring system of two COBs at a Polish coking plant. The measurements included both an old and a new battery. The obtained concentrations of PCDDs/ PCDFs were lower than reported in the literature (0.5-1.7 ng I-TEQ/Mg coke ), while the results for old COB were on average 3 times higher than for the new one. It was found that PCDDs/PCDFs emission from COB underfiring system is insignificant and that PCDDs/PCDFs formation during coal coking should consider the mechanisms of their formation from mono-and polychlorophenols, as well as the influence of process parameters on the synthesis.
