Exhaust gas components of night soil treatment plant by Zimmerman Process

Abstract

Exhaust gas from a wet-oxidation treatment plant for night soil was analysed by GC-MS-SIM, GC-ECD, GC-FPD, GC-FID, etc. Thirty-three components could be determined quantitatively. Among them, the following compounds are worthy of attention because of their concentrations: furan (70 ppm), dichlorobenzene (84 ppm), formaldehyde (260 ppm) and acetaldehyde (40ppm).
