Municipal solid waste incinerator MSWI

Metals in the feedstock end up in slag and fines. The slag meets the quality standards of the Dutch Building decree, and the fines have a comparable quality to municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly-ash (a.4). [Pg.6]

Municipal solid waste incinerators (MSWIs) are a robust treatment method for very different mixed waste types of different origin. The typical MSWI handles waste of a calorific value between 9 and 13 MJ/kg. They are the key technology for the treatment of integral household waste in countries such as Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands and Germany. Some 7% of this integral household waste consists of plastics. Treatment of... [Pg.21]

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.

Trace toxic metals may escape from the municipal incineration process. Various agents, such as 0.25 M Na-citrate, have been used to aid the removal of heavy metals during electrodialytic treatment of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly-ash (Pedersen 2002). One study found that the bottom ash in a municipal incineration system had 1000-fold higher levels of chromium(VI) in test leachates than the hopper cyclone and filter ashes (Abbas et al. 2001), but another study found the chromium in fly-ash to be mostly trivalent chromium (Coodarzi and Huggins 2001).

The aim of this work was to sturfy the influence of water on metal extraction from the fly ash, for SFE at a scale of 2 kg solids. The final aim is to provide design parameters for a larger scale SFE unit. We concentrate on the main metals of municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) fly ash (Zn, Pb, Cu, Cd, and Mn, Figure 1). Since die ZnO content of the studied ash was high, Zn was chosen as model compound. Three types of eiqieriments were performed ... [Pg.81]

With the explosive development of the economy and urbanization in China, more and more municipal solid wastes (MSWs) are generated. In 2000, 150 million tons of MSW were generated in China, and the total MSW dumped was 6 billion tons (Zhao, 2004). The MSW is mainly disposed of by three processes in China landfill, MSW incineration (MSWI), and compost. Whereas solid waste incinerators (SWI), especially MSW incinerators, have proven to be the most significant PCDD/F generators in industrialized countries, SWI are presently not considered as the biggest source in China because only a small portion of MSW are currently being disposed of by incineration. However, numerous MSW incinerators are under construction in various cities to save limited land space. The emission of dioxins will increase rapidly from the boom of MSWI in China. [Pg.215]
