The effect of chlorine on arsenic (As) release dynamics during municipal solid waste (MSW) incineration in a fluidized bed was studied on the basis of an on-line analysis system. This system can continuously and quantitatively measure the concentrations of trace elements in flue gas. Chlorine addition increases obviously the concentration of arsenic in flue gas, indicating a promoting effect of chlorine on arsenic release during MSW incineration. Based on the temporal concentration of arsenic in flue gas, the overall kinetic parameters of arsenic release during MSW incineration were calculated. A second-order kinetic law r(x) = 81.6e (-1.05x - 0.01x + 1.03) was ascertained for arsenic release during MSW incineration without chlorine addition, and r(x) = 177.3e (-0.68x - 0.43x + 1.08) for arsenic release with chlorine addition. Thermodynamic calculations were performed to predict the partitioning behavior of arsenic during MSW incineration. The addition of chlorine can not only compete with gaseous arsenic to react with mineral, but is also able to increase the volatilization of arsenic by forming volatile arsenic chlorides, thereby affecting the release kinetics of arsenic during MSW incineration.

Decentralized thermal treatment is a common method for municipal solid waste (MSW) disposal in rural areas. However, evaluating the effect of incineration has always been challenging owing to the difficult and time-consuming measurements involved. Herein, this study presented a rapid image recognition method for assessing the effects of thermal treatment on MSW using a neural network algorithm and a BAEVA 1.

The disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) is a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. As incineration becomes the primary method of MSW disposal in China, MSW incineration (MSWI) plants are expected to play a crucial role in mitigating GHG emissions in the waste sector. This study estimated the quarterly GHG emissions from two representative MSWI plants in Qingdao using a life-cycle assessment (LCA) approach.

Article Synopsis
- Co-combustion of municipal solid waste (MSW) with industrial solid waste (ISW) is increasingly common, but its impact on harmful pollutants remains unclear, complicating control efforts.
- An incineration study using a 650 t/d capacity tested various ISW blends and developed a new model to understand the relationship between waste components and their toxic byproducts, including PCDD/Fs and dl-PCBs.
- Results showed co-combustion led to a significant increase in the generation of these contaminants, particularly from plastics like PET and PVC, indicating a need for stricter regulations on blending certain waste types to minimize toxic emissions.

The rising demand for plastics has driven up its production, causing severe environmental challenges like CO emissions and microplastic pollution. Furthermore, improper disposal of incinerator bottom ash (IBA), a byproduct of municipal solid waste (MSW) treatment, poses additional environmental risks. This study explores a method for recovering non-petroleum-based monomers from plastic products.
