Rotary kiln systems usually have a secondary combustion chamber after the kiln to ensure complete combustion of the wastes. Airtight seals close off the high end of the kiln while the lower end is connected to the secondary combustion chamber or mixing cluimber. In some cases, liquid waste is injected into the secondary combustion chamber. The kiln acts as the primary chamber to volatilize and oxidize combustibles in the wastes. Inert ash is then removed from the lower end of the kiln. The volatilized combustibles exit the kiln and enter the secondary chamber where additional oxygen is available and ignitable liquid wastes or fuel can be introduced. Complete combustion of the waste and fuel occurs in the secondar> chamber. 

To use the gunpowder, pile 2 or 3 spoonfuls on top of any solid incendiary material which is to be ignited. For igniting liquids in open containers, wrap 2 or 3 spoonfuls in a piece of paper and suspend it just above the liquid. 

Put at least 2 spoonfuls on the material to be ignited. To ignite liquids, such as solvents or napalm, wrap several spoonfuls in a piece of paper and hang this just over the fluid, or place nearby. If fluids dampen the mixture it may not ignite.

Combustible solid difficult to ignite. Liquid forms are dissolved in hydrocarbons (flash point 100 to 150°F/38 to 66°C). Contact with strong oxidizers may cause fire and explosions. Incompatible with alkaline materials hydrolyzes in alkali. Attacks some plastics, rubber and coatings iron and aluminum.

Evidence of an accelerant What evidence indicates the presence of an accelerant One indicator is an unusual burn pattern, like that present on the floor joists in Figure 1. In this case, called a "rundown" burn pattern, an ignitable liquid was likely poured in this area, running down between the floorboards to the joists below. 

Ignitability— liquids with a flash point of less than 140°F non-liquid materials with the potential to spontaneously combust DOT-ignitable compressed gases and DOT oxidizers.
