Heat Treatments of Waste: Policy and Process

This lecture covers the policy and process of heat treatments for waste management, including incineration, pyrolysis, and gasification. It discusses the types of heat treatments, thermal waste recovery plants, energy and metal recovery, and the reduction in waste mass and volume. The instructor explains the incineration process, energy recovery, and the factors influencing the incineration capacity of thermal recovery plants. The lecture also addresses the environmental impact, emissions, and the planning of thermal treatment facilities, considering parameters like calorific value, operating time, and site selection.
