Abstract :
The incineration process transforms environmentally hazardous components of waste, such as aromatic hydrocarbons and organic solvents, into harmless compounds. Additionally, incineration plants convert the released combustion heat into steam and electricity. The steam can be used for industrial processes or district heating, and the electricity is usually fed into the national grid.This article describes the incineration process and its mathematical modeling.
