What is incineration process and what its usage? It is helpful for high definition of waste management. It is a treatment with high temperature and oxidizes all organic components of wastes to inorganic matter and reduces combustible waste with reduction of quantity of waste by volume and weight. The process is not suitable for all type of hazardous waste. Incinerators are specialized with chambers, and tape of wastes etc;
Requirements of the appropriate wastes suitable for incineration are;
a) low heating volume – above 2000 kcal/kg for single chamber and above 3500 kcal/kg for pryolytic double chamber incinerators respectively
b) 60% of waste need to be combustible
c) Noncombustible solids or matters not be more than 5%
d) Other noncombustible matters not be more than 20%
e) Moisture of waste matters should be below 30%
Types of wastes not suitable for incineration are;
a) Gas containers because of pressure in it
b) Chemical wastes in large quantity because of its reactivity
c) Photographic or radioactive elements because of emission and other chemical obstructions
d) Plastics with organic elements such as PVC
e) Types of wastes contain mercury or cadmium in large amount.
