Abstract
This paper reports the characterization of residues collected from air pollution controlling devices (APCDs) at seven large-scale municipal solid wastes (MSW) incineration plants. The amount of lime being sprayed in plants is a function of free CaO content in scrubber residues; a higher free CaO content in scrubber residue causes more leaching of lead. The proper amount of lime in the semi-dry scrubbing system was found to be 5 kg/ton of MSW waste. Under these conditions, both the free CaO content and lead leaching became extremely low in scrubber residue.
