Carbon Sorbents for the Purpose of Ecological Safety of RDF Combustion

Abstract

An important issue of solid-waste energy recovery is related to the methods that prevent both the synthesis and emission of dioxins and furans. Carbon-sorbent injection into a gas flow of the incinerators and industrial furnaces is a leading and proven technology [1, 2]. Both the high temperatures of the gas flow and excess oxygen complicate the usage of active carbons, since an exceedance of 300°C gives rise to the initiation of sorbent combustion [3]. A carbon material was prepared using thermomechanical activation of fine-dispersed coke dust and proposed for solving this problem [4].
