The Possibilities of Reduction of Polychlorinated Dibenzo-P-Dioxins and Polychlorinated Dibenzofurans Emission

الملخص EN

In the study the most important and known polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzo-furans (PCDFs) emission sources are presented and known methods of reduction of dioxin emission to the atmosphere are discussed in detail.

It is indicated that the most relevant emission source is a combustion process.

The mechanism of dioxin formation in thermal processes is presented in brief.

The author characterized primary methods of reduction of PCDDs/PCDFs emission encompassing the interference into the combustion process to minimize their formation and discussed known secondary methods aimed at their removal from the stream of waste gases.

It was attempted to make a critical assessment of PCDD/Fs reduction methods described in literature.
