<p>Water is introduced into the flue gas effluent leaving the flame zone (12) of any type of thermal destruction device (1) (such as an incinerator, boiler, or cement, aggregate or rotary kiln) being fed any kind of waste (such as hazardous, medical, municipal, mixed (radioactive) or mixtures thereof). The water provides both atomic oxygen radicals and hydroxyl radicals which attack the organic molecules of the waste feed stream (2) that survive the flame environment, thereby essentially eliminating the organic products of incomplete combustion (PICs) that would otherwise result.</p> |
