Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop a safe and efficient incineration method to treat a large amount of woody debris in the sea caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake Much of the debris remains untouched even two years after the earthquake We apply the two-stage combustion technique, which we developed for woody biomass, to the method Experiments are conducted using a small combustor and woody chips saturated with artificial sea water to simulate the incineration of the woody debris Effects of chloride on the combustion as well as combustion controllability are investigated for three different moisture contents
