Municipal incineration residues

In water-wall incineration, unprocessed municipal solid residues is loaded into the incinerator and burned on traveling grates. Low pressure and temperature (4 MPa, 260°C) steam is produced.

Sources From Combustion Processes. In 1977, PCDD and PCDF were detected in particulate emissions from municipal incinerators (5). Similar data were soon reported from around the world. In 1980, workers at Dow Chemical Company, using the most sensitive and specific analytical techniques of that time, detected a range of PCDD in residues from many combustion processes (6). These workers postulated that all combustion processes that contain chlorine sources produce PCDD. Although this postulate is not supported in all situations, dioxin emissions from combustion sources are major contributors to PCDD in the environment (7).

The ceramic material consumed by the general public in the greatest quantities is glass, in the form of containers. Glass is a relatively inert material and, as such, does not decompose thus, it is not biodegradable. A significant proportion of municipal landfills consists of waste glass this is also true of incinerator residue.

The aim of this chapter is to present a conceptual model of the leaching process in landfills based on two exemplary field studies at a municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) bottom ash landfill, Landfill Lostorf, and a lysimeter investigation, Landfill Teuftal, containing cement-stabilized MSWI air pollution control (APC) residues.

The reasons why incineration is viewed as an attractive recovery option are outlined and environmental challenges facing the incineration industry are considered. The overall European situation with regard to residue generation and processing costs is discussed and the progress being made towards the voluntary commitment of the PVC industry in relation to municipal solid waste incineration and other recovery processes. 15 refs.
