Hall, R., P. Lemieux, W. Linak, AND J. Wasser. ONGOING FUNDAMENTAL HAZARDOUS WASTE INCINERATION RESEARCH AT EPA/RTP FACILITY. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/D-91/108 (NTIS PB91196089).
Description:
The paper describes five combustors, results of some completed research, and plans for future studies at EPA/AEERL's RCRA-permitted facility at Research Triangle Park, NC. esearch is conducted to examine the effect of operating parameters such as residence time, temperature, turbulence, and waste characteristics on incineration of principal organic hazardous constituents (POHCs) the formation of products of incomplete combustion (PICs) and the transformation of trace metals. he five combustion systems include a rotary kiln incinerator simulator, a package boiler simulator, a horizontal tunnel combustor, a two-stage fluidized bed combustor, and a commercial package boiler.
