Influence of Different Catalytic Metals on the Formation of PCDD/Fs during Co-combustion of Sewage Sludge and Coal by Xiaoqing Lin, Tieying Mao, Yunfeng Ma, Xiangbo Zou, Lijun Liu, Wenhua Yin, Mumin Rao, Ji Ye, Chuangting Chen, Hong Yu, Xiaodong Li, Jianhua Yan

“…Abstract Co-combustion of sewage sludge (SS) and coal was developed rapidly in China, however, less attention was paid to the formation characteristics of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and the influence factors, such as the catalytic metals (CuCl2, FeCl3, ZnCl2, CuO, Fe2O3, and ZnO), sources of carbon and chlorine. During the co-combustion of SS (2.5 wt.%) and coal (97.5 wt.%), the formation content of PCDD/Fs was 0.51 ng g–1 and 0.01 ng I-TEQ g–1. …”
