Abstract: | The paper deals with the use of a rotary kiln furnace for thermal destruction of dioxin combined with a baghouse filter for the recycling of entrained flyash and an activated carbon filter for adsorbtion of dioxin traces transported by gas phase.Measurements performed at a pilot plant with a throughput of 200 kg flyash/hr revealed 99.5 % destruction of dioxins and furans. Furthermore, the destruction of all organics, 95 % desorbtion of mercury and quantitative elimination of peripheral (located at the surface) Chromium (CrVI) were achieved.An activated carbon filter placed in the fluegas stream of an municipal waste incinerator was started up to investigate the influence of interfering constituants like SO2, HCl etc. on the filter performance. Loading data, removal efficiency and make up performance were collected. |
