Abstract:

Biological and medical waste is always classified as hazardous material such as it must be treated according to its hazardous characteristics. One of the best methods for disposal seems to be a thermal degradation. This research examines the effect of finely crushed sorbent Ca(OH)2 and NaHCO3 to eliminate these hazardous substances in a small incinerating facility with heating power under 5 MW. The experiment took place in an existing incinerating plant with capacity 250 kg h-1. Sorbents were injected into a flue gas flow at two different places. It was observed that the temperature of flue gas and the residence time significantly influence the sorbent refining effect that is caused by quantity of collision in flue gas stream. Sorbents were dosed into a system with a theoretical consumption excess to serve sufficient refining effect. At dosing rate of 7 kg h-1 Ca(OH)2 the concentration of SO2 decreased by 34.5% and HCl by 59.0% referring to the initial concentration. At dosing rate of 5 kg h-1 NaHCO3 the concentration of SO2 decreased by 32% and HCl by 44.8% referring to an initial concentration. Tested sorbents react with acidic compounds with different efficiency and preferably react with different acid compounds.
