Municipal incinerators

Municipal incinerators are often targeted as a primary cause of acid rain. In fact, power plants burning fossil fuels, which produce sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, are actually the leading cause of acid rain, along with automotive exhaust (176,177). In Europe and Japan, studies show that only about 0.02% of all acid rain can be traced to incineration of PVC (178).

Show by means of a flow diagram or sketch how you would treat and dispose of the fly ash collected from a municipal incinerator. The fly ash contains toxic and nontoxic metals, nonmetallic inorganics, and organic halogen compounds. 

The emission control requirements set for municipal incinerators by the U.S. Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (1) are extensive and complex. Many of the final standards have not been established as of the date of publication of this book. A thorough study of the regulations is necessary for any person dealing with incinerator technology and control.

Incineration, as well as returnables and recovered scrap, is an alternative to recycling. Because of the new polymeric barriers this technique can be used where the municipal incineration system incorporates energy recovery. This arrangement depends, however, on the availability of properly designed incinerators with scrubbers and energy recovery. 

The pyrolysis of vinylidene chloride produced a range of chlorinated aromatic compounds including polychlorinated benzenes, styrenes, and naphthalenes (Yasahura and Morita 1988), and a series of chlorinated acids including chlorobenzoic acids has been identified in emissions from a municipal incinerator (Mowrer and Nordin 1987).

Uses. Used mineral-hased crankcase oil is mixed with other oils to produce cutting oils or other lubricating oils. It is incinerated for energy in oil burners in homes, industrial steam boilers, municipal incinerators, and rotary cement kilns. It is also used in asphalt production. 

Terra-Vit was evaluated in a pilot-scale treatability study at the Recomp of Washington site in Ferndale, Washington. During this study. Terra-Vit was used to process 2 tons of municipal incinerator ash containing barium, cadmium, and lead. Treatment costs were reported to be 52 per ton (D10028N, p. 11 D213445).

SFE has also replaced many regulated solvents in analytical chemistry applications in recent years, primarily because it provides a more reliable measure of the concentrations of environmental contaminants and can play an important role in pollution assessment, abatement, and control. Advantages have been shown for using SFE compared to the conventional Soxhlet extraction with toluene for determining the presence of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans in ashes from a municipal incinerator (Dolezal et al., 1995). SFE allows the complete extraction of the analytes from the sample, whereas conventional extraction results in an incomplete, and hence, inferior extraction.
