In-Depth Experimental Study of Solid-Waste Destruction by High Temperature Air Combustion (original) (raw)

The objective of this article is to investigate the application of high temperature air combustion in thermal destruction of solid waste. The secondary air was preheated at different temperatures and burned with low calorific value and high content of diluted inert gas released from solid waste. It was discovered that the combustion with the higher preheated secondary air temperature had affected an increase in average flame temperature, and reduction in supplementary fuel consumption, but caused higher NO X emission. The maximum percentage of energy saving and NO X emission increasing occurred in the case of preheated secondary air at 900 ı C with a value of 56% and 40%, respectively.
