Energy recovery

Takashi Akehata

Abstract

Abstract Incinerators in use, power‐generating incinerators and pollution‐prevention methods in energy recovery from waste incineration are briefly reviewed. Results of a recent energy recovery experiment under real operating conditions are described: The addition of waste plastic to municipal solid waste brought about more stable combustion and no increase in the concentrations of dioxins. It is remarked that energy recovery through incineration is probably the best currently available means of disposal for plastics which are too difficult to recycle.
