Report: Hazardous waste combustion in industrial cement and lime kilns

The full report summarizes the results of several studies relating to hazardous waste combustion in cement and lime kilns. The tests included in this study are four kilns tested by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), four kilns tested by State agencies or the kiln operator, two Canadian tests, and one Swedish test. The predominant types of wastes tested included chlorinated organic compounds, aromatic compounds, and metalaromatic compounds, and metal contaminated waste oil. The kiln types include eight cement and one lime kiln. Fabric filters or electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) were the pollution control devices used in these processes, and the primary fuels included coal, coke and fuel oil.
