Abstract

Previous studies have shown that pollutants from incineration include heavy metal, PAH, PCB, PCDD and PCDF, which pose a threat to human health. It was also shown that most heavy metals were adsorbed on particulate matter. However, the relations among heavy metals and organic compounds were seldom mentioned. The present study focuses on the relations among particle pollutants, PAH, heavy metals and carbon. The experiments were carried out in a bubbling fluidized bed with two consecutive cyclones, a wet scrubber and an activated carbon scrubber. The feedstocks primarily simulated sawdust, paint, and plastic containers that from the furniture manufacturing process. The results indicated that the influences of heavy metals on PAH formation during the incineration were due to metal catalysis and carbon adsorption.
