Enrichment of PCDDs/PCDFs in the cooling system of municipal solid waste incineration plants

This study measured the levels of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDDs/PCDFs), destroyed or formed in combustors and re-synthesized in cooling systems. For the proper control of PCDDs/PCDFs in municipal solid waste (MSW) incinerators, three grate-type MSW incine...

520 |a This study measured the levels of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDDs/PCDFs), destroyed or formed in combustors and re-synthesized in cooling systems. For the proper control of PCDDs/PCDFs in municipal solid waste (MSW) incinerators, three grate-type MSW incinerators were selected, two of which had boilers, and one of which had a water spray tower (WST) as a cooling system. At the combustor outlets, dusts were in the range of 1640-4270 mg/Sm3 and PCDDs/PCDFs were in the range of 0.103-2.619 ng-TEQ/Sm3, showing the different values according to the grate structure of combustor and the flow direction of flue gas. After the flue gases passed through the cooling system, PCDDs/PCDFs at the waste heat boiler (WHB) outlets were enriched to levels that were 10.8-13.6 times higher than those at the furnace outlets, but PCDDs/PCDFs at the WST outlet was reduced to 5% of the level found at the furnace outlet. The emission patterns, such as the ratio of PCDFs to PCDDs, the ratio of gaseous-phase to particulate-phase PCDDs/PCDFs, and the compositional percentiles of each 2,3,7,8-substituted congener varied according to the types of air pollution control devices (APCDs). Reducing re-synthesis in the cooling system rather than enhancing the removal efficiencies of the APCDs seems to be more effective for lowering the levels of PCDDs/PCDFs in MSW incineration plants
