Incineration experiments and their impact on transfer coefficients

Experiences and results during the last five years show that the transfer coefficients of some elements differ quite significantly at the different locations. Incineration experiments conducted with mixtures of various waste types (household waste with sewage sludge or automotive shredder residues (ASR), waste with a high heating value) show similar results. The yearly mean values and time trends of monthly mean values of the calculated transfer coefficients are compared with different incineration experiments and presented in extracts in this paper. Moreover the effects of operating conditions and input variations on the partitioning of elements in a municipal solid waste incineration plant will be investigated.
