| Abstract |
An experiment has been carried out to determine the efficiency with which PCB's are destroyed in a municipal sewage sludge incinerator. A standard mixture of PCB's (Aroclor 1254) was injected into the sludge cake at the rate of 50 ppm (dry solids basis) under conditions whereby the various emergent streams from the furnace could be monitored. The experimental results indicate no PCB's present in either the scrubber exhaust water or in the ash; the amount of PCB in the emergent stack gases were found to correspond to destruction ratios in excess of 0.94 under normal furnace operating conditions. |
