Abstract

The incineration of hazardous wastes is emerging as a positive solution to the management of hazardous wastes containing organic compounds. To better understand the formation of products of incomplete combustion, a study of the thermal decomposition of dichlorobenzene in the presence of several organic compounds was conducted. The experiments studied the effects of feed mixtures on product distribution in a laboratory scale test system using a steady state combustion environment. The introduction of chlorinated compounds resulted in an increase in the number and concentration of chlorinated PICs. Conversely, the introduction of feed mixtures containing less than 40 wt % chlorine lowered the number of chlorinated PICs being formed.
