43 Two main types of fluidized beds are used in Europe for the combustion of waste. In ‘bubbling’ beds, air velocity is maintained close to the maximum above which bed material is carried away. In ‘circulating’ beds, air velocity is high enough to entrain part of the bed material which is then captured

It has been processed <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> brought to known specificati<strong>on</strong>s for combusti<strong>on</strong> (e.g.<br />
calorific value, ash c<strong>on</strong>tent, particle size) even though it does not fulfill the<br />
stringent criteria of fuels <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> remains legally a <strong>waste</strong>. RDF is mostly pre-treated<br />
municipal solid <strong>waste</strong>. In rare cases, fluidized beds are also used for the<br />
incinerati<strong>on</strong> of municipal solid <strong>waste</strong>. (B<strong>on</strong>toux.,1999)<br />
Other incinerators<br />
Waste incinerati<strong>on</strong> can be used for specific kind of <strong>waste</strong> such as <strong>organic</strong>s using<br />
smaller facilities which produce the same result (energy producti<strong>on</strong>). These<br />
kind of incinerators exist in the industrial sector <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> apply for the treatment of<br />
food <strong>waste</strong>, plastics, etc. As a result, they usually benefit from optimized<br />
operating c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> treat much smaller t<strong>on</strong>nages of <strong>waste</strong> that the mass<br />
burn facilities.<br />
A popular design is the “starved air” or “two-stage” incinerator where <strong>waste</strong>s are<br />
burned <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> partially paralyzed at the fr<strong>on</strong>t end of a hearth with the resulting<br />
char being fully burned out at the back end. These kind of facilities are mainly<br />
used for hospital <strong>waste</strong>. (B<strong>on</strong>toux.,1999)<br />
Another kind of incinerator that looks like the rotary kiln <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> is often water<br />
cooled, is popular for burning hazardous <strong>waste</strong>s because they can burn sludge<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> liquids as well as solids. Catalytic combustors are special furnaces that rely<br />
<strong>on</strong> a catalyst to burn <strong>waste</strong>s with low <strong>organic</strong> c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>. (B<strong>on</strong>toux.,1999)<br />
3.2.4. Envir<strong>on</strong>mental Aspects of Incinerati<strong>on</strong><br />
Dioxins <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> furans<br />
Maybe the most important problem c<strong>on</strong>cerning the incinerati<strong>on</strong> process is the<br />
dioxins <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> furans emitted (by <strong>waste</strong> incinerators <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> other combusti<strong>on</strong><br />
installati<strong>on</strong>s. This is because these chemicals have been proven to cause cancer<br />
to many mammals when they are absorbed in large quantities by the<br />
organisms. (B<strong>on</strong>toux.,1999)<br />
20 years ago when technology was not in the st<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g>ards it is today, in the EU the<br />
main sources of dioxins <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> furans have been mainly steel furnaces <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>waste</strong>
