The effect of temperature on PAHs emission from incineration of acrylic waste.
Incineration of acrylic waste solution in a lab scale quartz tube vertical incinerator showed the presence of 12-15 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from a list of 16 priority pollutants at 700-1100 degrees C after an interval of 50 degrees C. The amount of total 16 PAHs at 900 and 1100 degrees C was about 8.5 and 1.25 times higher than those at 700 degrees C (739.48 microg g(-1)) respectively. The amount of total probable (2A) and possible (2B) human carcinogenic PAHs was minimum at 700 degrees C.
