Advantages of Waste Incineration
Waste incineration is a treatment process that involves the combustion of organic substances contained in waste materials by means of high temperatures. Waste Incineration technology can be installed in several sectors to treat hazardous waste, refining residues, chemical waste, pharmaceutical waste, hospital & medical waste, waste water plant sludge, NORM (natural radioactive) waste, etc. ...

Improved understanding of the pozzolanic behaviour of MSWI fly ash with Ca(OH)
2solutionThe study aims at investigating pozzolanic behaviour of MSWI fly ash in a saturated Ca(OH)2 solution at various times. The raw and water–washed fly ashes were selected for the pozzolanic solidification experiment to which mass ratios of the solution to ash (ml/g) were adjusted to be 3 and 10, whereas the solidification times were set from 7 to 28 days and from one to three months. From the XRD ...

Waste incineration for urban India: valuable contribution to sustainable MSWM or inappropriate high–tech solution affecting livelihoods and public health?
Urban India is facing huge challenges in terms of population growth and resultant infrastructural needs. Municipal solid waste management (MSWM) still remains a challenge for urban local bodies. Municipal solid waste (management and handling) rules, 2000 was a first step in India towards organising the system, but till date the systems are largely insufficient and/inefficient. Focus on the urban ...

Recycling Vs. Landfills and Incinerators – Do Benefits of One Outweigh the Other?
Believing the 2011 survey results of the U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the American nationals generate more than 240 million tons of waste every year. Often referred to as Municipal Solid Waste, this waste originates from households, schools, hospitals, and business establishments. This trash material often finds its place in the wasteland, where it is either recycled, trapped in a ...

EPA issues final rules for boilers
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that more than 200,000 boilers, process heaters and incinerators will be impacted by a set of Clean Air Act regulations issued on February 21, 2011. Since EPA first proposed the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) rules in April 2010, several industry sectors have argued the costs of implementing the rules would pose an unreasonable ...

Dazed and Confused: Alternative fuels and the CISWI definitions rule
As discussed in ALL4’s December 2008 issue of 4 The Record, the use of alternative and non-traditional fuels for heat and power generation is on the rise, an increase that can be attributed to the price surge and volatility of traditional fossil fuels, as well as to a general desire to use more environmentally friendly materials to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Alternative fuels have been ...

Effect of drying on leaching testing of treated municipal solid waste incineration APC-residues
Air-pollution-control (APC) residues from waste incinerators are hazardous waste according to European legislation and must be treated prior to landfilling. Batch and column leaching data determine which type of landfill can receive the treated APC-residues. CEN standards are prescribed for the batch and column leaching test; however, these standards do not specify whether or not the residue ...

The municipal solid waste incineration sector in Europe: a study of harmonisation and its impact
This article discusses how Sustainable Development and Quality Management meet a common target. Companies that excel in Best Available Technology (BAT) respond to expanding sets of expectation of the client and of the legislator. The paper analyses the link between governance, lobbying, and the emergence of economic and environmental feasibility of current quality management factors. In ...

Artificial carbonation for controlling the mobility of critical elements in bottom ash
In municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI), bottom ash, generated at a stoker grate type incinerator, the critical elements were identified in terms of EU regulation. The stabilizing effect of moderate carbonation (pH 8.28 ± 0.03) on critical contaminants was studied through availability and diffusion leaching protocols. Data from the performed tests were evaluated with the goal of reusing MSWI ...
