Incineration. With the exception of metal, plastic, and glass containers, all regulated and associated material will be reduced completely to ash at the end of the incineration cycle.
Incineration. This is a thermal process for burning the waste at a very high temperature. Incineration requires high calorific value waste, which can burn without any external fuels. Indian waste contains only 3 to 7% of combustible paper, plastic by the time the waste reaches the disposal site. This is principally because most of the burnable material is retrieved by rag pickers from the waste lying on the streets, dust bins and dump yards. This calorific value of Indian waste at the dump yards is found to range from 800 to 1000 Kcal/kg., which is very low. The system of incineration is therefore not suitable under Indian conditions for this and the following additional reasons:
Incineration. Wastes that cannot be recycled in any other way are incinerated. About half of the municipal waste is incinerated, and energy is recovered either as heat or combined heat and power (Avfall Sverige 2007). The use of technique varies, some are using grates and others use fluidized beds.. Temperatures are between 850 – 1100 °C. Due to law regulations a great emphasis is put on purifying of the smoke by either dry or wet purification. Incineration facilities use multiple filters to prevent hazardous materials in the gases from being released to the air. Any by-products from incineration is separated and disposed safely (RVF 2005a). Recycling packages Aluminium, paper, plastics and newspaper are all transported to different facilities to be recycled into new packages. At a metallic recycling facility large machines sort the incoming waste in order to make sure that the material has a high enough quality. A mix aluminium metals are melted to liquid at 700 °C before solidification and transport to industries. Sweden has one industry that recycles all the incoming plastics. The incoming plastics (both hard and soft) are sorted by a blowing technique. Before treatment it is crushed to small pieces and washed to remove any paper labels. The plastics is mixed with water. The mass is left to dry before it is being transported to customers. The one paper recycling facility in Sweden recycles paper from 30 trucks every day. In a large cylinder paper is being washed with water in order to break up the paper to single paper fibers. The pulp is compressed to carton and thereafter processed in the format the clients wish. Newspapers are processed similar but the final product is newspaper. Coloured and uncoloured glass needs to be separated to get a high quality enough of the new glass produced. Therefore they are treated in the facility every other day. In the facility glass of different sizes are mixed together, crushed and transported to different sorting machines. This is transported to glassworks where it is melted in to new glass. Biodegradable waste Biodegradable waste is supplied from households, restaurant, garden waste and the agri-food industry. Biodegradable waste is treated in two different ways, one being composting and the other one anaerobic digestion. In Scandinavia there are a number of facilities producing compost from biodegradable waste. Waste from hoseholds and restaurants that consists mainly of food waste is normally co-composted with park and garden...
Incineration is the controlled burning of waste, either to reduce its volume, or its toxicity. Energy recovery from incineration can be made by utilising the calorific value of paper, plastic, etc to produce heat or power. Current flue-gas emission standards are very high. Xxx residues still tend to be disposed of to landfill. Industrial Waste - waste from any factory and from any premises occupied by an industry (excluding mines and quarries). Inert Waste - waste which, when deposited into a waste disposal site, does not undergo any significant physical, chemical or biological transformation and which complies with the criteria set out in Annex III of the EC Directive on the Landfill of Waste.
