State-of-the-Art and Recent Advances in the Abatement of Gaseous Pollutants from Waste-to-Energy

Energies, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 17(3), P. 552 - 552

Published: Jan. 23, 2024

Despite their key role in integrated waste management, direct (incineration) and indirect (gasification/pyrolysis) combustion processes are still opposed by some of the general public due to past emission levels air pollutants. In fact, although release pollutants (especially dioxin) atmosphere from has gradually decreased over years, thanks introduction stricter regulations more advanced removal technologies, there is an unsolved problem regarding acceptance waste-to-energy facilities. The aim this paper provide overview state-of-the-art pollution control (APC) technologies used Air designed reduce or eliminate emissions harmful into atmosphere. These important for safeguarding health, protecting ecosystems, complying with regulations, promoting a sustainable resilient future both local global communities. This will highlight complexity behind efforts made sector years. also propose suggested configurations based on interactions/complementarity between different APC recent findings improve performance.
