Metal Emissions Control Technologies for Waste Incineration

J.R. Donnelly

Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

Control of metals emissions from municipal, hospital, and hazardous waste incinerators has recently been mandated in regulations proposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. An understanding of regulatory requirements and control technologies is needed to select the most cost-effective system for site-specific Applications. This chapter presents a review of the current U.S. regulations covering incinerator emissions and describes technologies used for their control. Typical emission levels and control efficiencies achievable are presented.
