Influence of Operating Conditions on the Formation of Heavy Metal Compounds During Incineration.

The formation of Cr, Pb, and Cd species under various operating conditions in a pilot-scale fluidized-bed incinerator was investigated. Examined were the effects of (1) an organic chloride (PVC) additive, (2) an inorganic chloride (NaCl) additive, and (3) NaNO and PVC additives, under various operating temperatures. Two-stage modeling was performed to match the actual incineration conditions of the current study.
