Popis: Due to their low concentration and complex nature, the low-cost online and real-time monitoring of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) is a challenge. In this paper, based on a coupling adsorption model of activated carbon and the relationship of PCDD/Fs and flue gas, an online monitoring system with real-time control of final PCDD/F emissions was built for the tracing and control of PCDD/F emissions in municipal solid waste incinerators (MSWIs). According to the online monitoring system, the effects of activated carbon concentration, the specific surface area of activated carbon (AC), operating temperature, contact time, fly ash concentration, residence carbon concentration of fly ash, and the lime concentration of final PCDD/F emissions were discussed. These MSWI operating parameters for reaching standards of 0.1 ng international toxic equivalents (TEQ)/Nm3 and 0.05 ng TEQ/Nm3 were summarized by the predicting model based on several published models.
