high-temperature incineration

A second research focus for the Group is the use of natural gas for high-temperature incineration processes.

The paint is shipped out of province for either high-temperature incineration or recycling.

The chemicals will be taken to one of the UK's three high-temperature incineration plants.

These technologies include gasification, which is a type of high-temperature incineration that releases almost no pollution.

• The only approved method of destroying askarel is by high-temperature incineration.

Why isn't there the same urgency to change trash collection that the city worthily shows in pushing for high-temperature incineration?

• High-temperature incineration of shredded capacitors is the only approved destruction method.

Dioxins can be destroyed by ultraviolet light (such as sunlight) and also by high-temperature incineration.

High-temperature incineration remains the exception.

High-temperature incineration, in which a waste is burned again and again to insure destruction, is one of the most widely used approaches.

Red bags, actually a pinkish plastic, hold potentially infectious medical waste for high-temperature incineration and cannot be legally disposed of in the trash.

Is high-temperature incineration an acceptable method of disposing of PCBs? 4.

This is on the grounds that there are no high-temperature incineration facilities in sub-Saharan Africa and no plans to build any.

Huge amounts of PCBs await disposal, with high-temperature incineration being the only effective solution at present.

A pending revision would require the high-temperature incineration of all hospital waste, not just potentially infectious, or so-called red-bag, waste.

HIGH-temperature incineration converts the carbon and hydrogen in organic chemicals into carbon dioxide and water.

The sediments were also found to contain "at least 50,000 tonnes" of PCB contaminants which could only be disposed of by high-temperature incineration.

Yet this was Rechem International's high-temperature incineration plant at Pontypool in Gwent, South Wales.

Two of these technologies, high-temperature incineration and chemical dechlorination, are well developed and are currently used on a commercial basis in a number of countries around the world.

"Some use high-temperature incineration, which are problematic since one of the reasons industry liked PCB's so much in the first place was they don't burn, at least not easily."

The most widely used technology, in Europe and the U.S.A., for the destruction of askarel liquids or askarel-contaminated wastes is that of high-temperature incineration.

In addition, many European nations have strict rules requiring that dangerous chemicals such as PCB's undergo high-temperature incineration, a disposal method that has become increasingly expensive.

This includes expensive new technologies like high-temperature incineration that would destroy or extract toxic compounds lodged in the mud, at a cost of tens of millions of dollars.

Nevertheless, pilot testing in Canada and elsewhere has shown that modern high-temperature incineration methods coupled with emission controls could largely solve air emissions problems (Environment Canada 1991).

Suggested areas of R&D include: Energy from waste, encapsulation, high-temperature incineration technologies, increased recycled content, cost-effective strategies for dust suppression, and accounting and data gathering tools.
