The quotas are very demanding and extremely ambitious with respect to the mile stones at 2006 and 2015. In addition landfill phase out regulations put additional pressure on the owners of PU waste to find a home. There is a great lack of energy recovery capacities due to a phase out of landfill in most central European countries by the 2005 to 2007 time frame. Total capacity of WtE facilities in Europe is about 47 Million t in 2002. This is only 20 % of total municipal solid and other similar waste. The solution to bridge the gap between waste supply and waste treatment capacity is linked to the low cost approach building mechanical sorting plants and mechanical biological...

In the future economical recycling principles will be guidelines for research, development, design, production and recovery of products in the E+E sector.

The available resources of wood fuels in Europe are not sufficient to meet the demand, and this pushes the market prices of wood even higher. The availability of biomass is often locally limited. At these conditions, the co-combustion of low priced plastic rich solid recovered fuel (SRF) and biomass is an attractive option to improve the economy of energy conversion in boilers that can technically use SRF and meet the environmental requirements without large investments.

At high Br loads Br2 was formed and a reducing agent had to be added to the alkaline scrubber for good removal efficiency. From the effluents of the wet scrubbers up to > 99 % of the Br in the raw gas can be recovered. Br promoted the volatilisation of heavy metals during fuel bed burnout. The halogen in- ventory did not influence the PXDD/F level in the raw gas. The share of Br containing congeners in- creased with increasing Br/Cl ratio.

Research paper thumbnail of Destruction of the flame retardant hexabromocyclododecane in a full-scale municipal solid waste incinerator

Waste management & research : the journal of the International Solid Wastes and Public Cleansing Association, ISWA, 2015

The co-feeding of 1 and 2 wt% of polystyrene foam had no influence on the operation of the plant. The bromine content increased the raw gas hydrogen bromide concentration slightly. The air emission, including that of dioxins and bromine, was not altered and so was the quality of the solid residues. The hexabromocyclododecane concentrations in the solid residues were almost identical, regardless of whether or not and how much polystyrene foam was added. The obtained destruction efficiency was >99.999% independent of the amount of added polystyrene foam. This finding indicates a virtually total destruction of hexabromocyclododecane.
