Abstract
Based on the capacity, efficiency and safety issues of treatment, incineration is recognized as one of the most popular ways to deal with the waste stream. In order to avoid the emissions of the hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from an incinerator, it is essential to continuously monitor the operating conditions and the composition of the exhaust gas. Although a trial burn plan demands the minimum DRE (Destruction and Removal Efficiency) for POHCs (Principal Organic Hazardous Constituents), there is no guarantee that secondary pollution will not happen from incineration. Staley et. al., [1] show there is no direct relationship between the combustion efficiency and the PICs formation. Lemieux et. al,[5] also indicate 99.99% DRE may not challenge an incinerator's ability to produce or destroy PICs. Brouwer et. al.,[3] and Sacchi et. al.,[7] has designed the experiments to investigate the effects of both mixing and chemical kinetics on PICs formation.
