Method of smoldering combustion for the treatment of oil sludge-contaminated soil.

There is an urgent need to globally remediate oil sludge-contaminated soil (OSS). Smoldering combustion is a new low-energy approach for the treatment of organic waste. Therefore, the feasibility of smoldering combustion for the treatment of OSS was investigated in this study using a series of laboratory-scale experiments.

Method of smoldering combustion for refinery oil sludge treatment.

Refinery oil sludge is a type of hazardous waste generated during petroleum refining. Smoldering combustion has been studied in waste treatment but has not been applied to refinery oil sludge treatment. This work verified the feasibility of smoldering combustion for refinery oil sludge treatment through bench-scale experiments.

Comparative study on the characteristics of condensable particulate matter emitted from three kinds of coal.

Condensable particulate matter (CPM) is quickly formed by several gaseous substances in flue gas after emission and belongs to primary particulate matter emitted into the atmosphere by stationary sources. Many studies have shown that current CPM emissions from coal-fired stationary sources far exceed filterable particulate matter, and the issue of CPM emissions has attracted widespread attention. The current research on CPM mainly focuses on its emission characteristics in stationary sources and its migration characteristics in pollutant-controlled equipment, lacking the characteristics of CPM directly generated by fuel combustion.
