Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Air pollution constitutes the greatest environmental threat to human health in the European Union. In Poland, the emission of particulate matter and harmful gases originating from local coal based boiler plants and the combustion of fuels in residential heating appliances is a considerable source of air pollution. The combustion of fuel in home fur...

The reaction of NO with chars of sewage sludge, refuse derived fuel (RDF), and straw was investigated in a fixed bed reactor at temperatures from 800 to 900 degrees C and NO inlet concentrations from 400 to 1500 ppmv. The effect of ash forming elements in the chars was examined by comparing the reactivity of raw and demineralized chars. Compared to...

Open combustion of solid waste is one of the main sources of the emission of dioxin and dioxin-like compounds (DLCs). Ambient dioxin will eventually undergo depositions on soils and tree leaves. Pine trees have shown an ability to store dioxin in their needles allowing biomonitoring of dioxin atmospheric concentrations. Infiltration can transport d...

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations in Nnewi and its environs were determined. Soil samples were extracted by sonication using hexane:dichloromethane (3:1) mixture and determined by gas chromatography-flame ionization detection. The total PAHs concentrations (μg/kg) were 16.681 to 46.815, being three orders of magnitude lower than ...

Oxidation of Metals
Heat exchange surfaces in biomass- and waste-fired boilers are exposed to corrosive species due to the considerable amounts of alkali chlorides and PbCl2 which are released during combustion. The corrosivity of alkali chlorides toward superheater alloys exposed at high temperature has been studied extensively. However, at lower material temperature...

This study focused on the thermal degradation of polycarbonate (BrPC) and high-impact polystyrene (BrHIPS), containing different brominated flame retardants. The evolved inorganic bromine was utilized for the separation of metals present in electric arc furnace dust (EAFD). The thermal degradation of BrPC generated inorganic gaseous HBr (69%) and c...

The congener-specific concentrations of mono- to deca-chlorinated biphenyls (PC1–10B) in post-combustion zone flue gases from a laboratory-scale fluidized bed reactor were evaluated and correlated with a set of physicochemical properties and chlorine substitution descriptors. The objective was to identify parameters that affect post-combustion zone...

This study aimed to determine the content of fossil carbon in waste combusted in Sweden by using four different methods at seven geographically spread combustion plants. In total, the measurement campaign included 42 solid samples, 21 flue gas samples, 3 sorting analyses and 2 investigations using the balance method. The fossil carbon content in th...

This article presents a tool based on a simplified model developed for the combustion processes in a rotary kiln incinerator (slightly inclined rotating primary combustion chamber). The model was developed with the aim of supporting the design phase of the incinerator combustion chamber and, at the same time, of investigating possible technical cha...
