Abstract
Chlorinated hydrocarbons (CHC) have a myriad of industrial applications including solvents, feedstocks, and the components of polymeric materials. The byproduct of these industrial uses is an enormous quantity of liquid waste. Incineration is an attractive treatment process for this hazardous waste, however, the current technology is costly and highly empirical. Better fundamental knowledge of incinerator chemistry and improved diagnostic techniques will improve incinerator design and help evaluate innovative CHC destruction schemes. The development of real-time monitors of the effluent stream is necessary to satisfy environmental concerns and insure compliance of emission regulations.
