Тяжелые металлы и мусоросжигание как источник их поступления в окружающую среду

This article describes the behavior of heavy metals and their possible speciation during thermal recycling. A simplified thermodynamic approach in predicting the behavior of heavy metals in the combustion process, assuming that the chemical structure in which the metal is at the moment depends on the specific conditions of temperature, gas composition, and to a lesser extent, pressure. The advantage of this approach is that it takes into account the multi-component and multi-phase systems and allows to model complex systems involving a large number of compounds in gaseous, liquid or solid phases. Its description was examined by the determination of four metals, namely lead, cadmium, zinc and chromium.
