  2. Thermal oxidizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_oxidizer

    Catalytic oxidizer (also known as catalytic incinerator) is another category of oxidation systems that is similar to typical thermal oxidizers, but the catalytic oxidizers use a catalyst to promote the oxidation. Catalytic oxidation occurs through a chemical reaction between the VOC hydrocarbon molecules and a precious-metal catalyst bed that ...

  3. Incineration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incineration

    Incineration and other high-temperature waste treatment systems are described as "thermal treatment". Incineration of waste materials converts the waste into ash, flue gas and heat. The ash is mostly formed by the inorganic constituents of the waste and may take the form of solid lumps or particulates carried by the flue gas.

  4. Thermal oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_oxidation

    Furnaces used for diffusion and thermal oxidation at LAAS technological facility in Toulouse, France. In microfabrication, thermal oxidation is a way to produce a thin layer of oxide (usually silicon dioxide) on the surface of a wafer. The technique forces an oxidizing agent to diffuse into the wafer at high temperature and react with it.

  5. Thermal desorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_desorption

    Thermal desorption is an environmental remediation technology that utilizes heat to increase the volatility of contaminants such that they can be removed (separated) from the solid matrix (typically soil, sludge or filter cake). The volatilized contaminants are then either collected or thermally destroyed.

  6. Waste-to-energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste-to-energy

    Incineration, the combustion of organic material such as waste with energy recovery, is the most common WtE implementation. All new WtE plants in OECD countries incinerating waste (residual MSW, commercial, industrial or RDF) must meet strict emission standards, including those on nitrogen oxides (NO x), sulphur dioxide (SO 2), heavy metals and dioxins.

  7. Thermal treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_treatment

    Thermal treatment is any waste treatment technology that involves high temperatures in the processing of the waste feedstock. Commonly this involves the combustion of waste materials. [1] Systems that are generally considered to be thermal treatment include: Cement kiln; Gasification; Incineration; Mechanical heat treatment; Pyrolysis; Thermal ...

  9. Thermal decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_decomposition

    Thermal decomposition is a chemical reaction where heat is a reactant. Since heat is a reactant, these reactions are endothermic meaning that the reaction requires thermal energy to break the chemical bonds in the molecule.
