Abstract
Air pollutants which are emitted from municipal refuse incinerators, like chlorinated organic compounds, are generated according to the state of combustion in the furnace. The combustion behavior of waste is very complicatedbecause the solid waste consists of various kinds of components and its reaction such as drying and combustion proceedsfrom the surface to the center of the solid, with time. Therefore, the concentration of produced unburnt gas changesaccording to progress of waste combustion. In this study, papers and plastics (PVC, PE, PS and the mixed) were burnedin an actual batch combustor, and then the concentration of the total unburnt carbon and T3CP (tri-chlorinated phenol), and the other gaseous components were continuously measured on line in the experiment. Moreover, the gases werealso measured precisely in electric furnace, and the result was compared with the former one.
