Photographic film, incineration

Several processes have been developed [41-43] to overcome the technological drawbacks of plastics incineration cited above. These include continuous rotary-kiln processes a process for glass-reinforced PET a combined system for wood fiber and PET to provide steam to power equipment and a fluidized system for pyrolysis, in combination with silver recovery from photographic film. Incineration of photographic film raises the additional problem of the formation of toxic halogenated compounds due to the presence of silver halides. [Pg.720]
