Incineration - Wikipedia Incineration is a waste treatment process that involves the combustion of substances contained in waste materials [1] Industrial plants for waste incineration are commonly referred to as waste-to-energy facilities Incineration and other high-temperature waste treatment systems are described as "thermal treatment"
Community Guide to Incineration - US EPA Incineration is the process of burning hazardous materials at temperatures high enough to destroy contaminants An incinerator is a type of furnace designed for burning hazardous materials in a combustion chamber
Understanding Incineration: A Regulatory Overview “Incineration is a controlled flame combustion process used to thermally degrade and destroy organic contaminants in waste materials It converts hazardous organic substances into carbon dioxide, water vapor, and inert ash ”
Incineration | waste management | Britannica The process called incineration or combustion—chemically, rapid oxidation—can be used to convert VOCs and other gaseous hydrocarbon pollutants to carbon dioxide and water
Incineration - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics Incineration is a process in which waste in the presence of oxygen is subjected to a high temperature of between 850 and 1100 °C, reducing the waste's weight and volume significantly while taking advantage of the heat and energy generated
New Waste Incinerators Safer, But Some Emissions and Health Concerns . . . Incineration is widely used in the United States to reduce the volume of waste Hundreds of incinerators -- including industrial kilns, boilers, and furnaces -- combust municipal and hazardous waste, while many more are used to burn medical waste Whether waste incineration poses a health risk to incinerator employees or to people living and working nearby has been the subject of much debate
Incinerator- Principle, Procedure, Parts, Types, Uses, Examples Burning potentially dangerous materials at temperatures high enough to eliminate pollutants is known as incineration Incineration is most commonly used where there is a large-scale accumulation of waste and when treating bulky heterogeneous waste needs treatment
