Incineration of Hazardous Waste Toxic Combustion By-Products : Based on the Proceedings of the First International Congress on Toxic Combustion By-Products--Formation and Control, University of California, Los Angeles, 26-29 August 1989

The topics explored in this book are areas in which further knowledge is critical to the development of advanced designs of combustion devices and control strategies, and to the implementation of government regulations. Emphasis is upon combustion of waste due to public concern about the environment and health effects, and the public perception that incineration poses an unnecessary hazard to both humans and the environment.;Areas covered are health risks and existing regulations, emissions and monitoring control. Also included are fundamental chemistry, soot chemistry, gas transport and processing of solids and liquids.;This book should be of interest to researchers in chemical engineering, environmental science, and combustion science.
