(54) | Waste incinerator and secondary combustion device |
(57) A secondary combustion device (3) that prevents the production of dioxins during
cooling, and an incinerator that produces no dioxins. A secondary burner (23) is mounted
in a secondary combustion chamber (22) provided in a duct (2). A plate-shaped sintered
alumina filter (26) is provided at the outlet of the secondary combustion chamber.
The alumina filter (26) catches flying ashes contained in waste gas and burn them
with secondary combustion heat to considerably reduce the amount of flying ashes in
exhaust gas and oxidize copper chloride, iron chloride and carbon present in flying
ashes, thereby preventing the flying ashes from acting as a catalyst for converting
dioxin precursors into full-fledged dioxins and preventing the production of dioxins
during cooling of exhaust gas. |
